Hey Robert, and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, I am pretty new to this topic myself and don't know about any studies regarding animations in web maps and people with vestibular disorders. That would be an interesting topic to read more about!
For me personally, zooming of the maps can be problematic. I have good days when the symptoms don't get triggered from about anything. But on the worse days, for example, zooming a map with a fast animation can trigger nausea, as they're creating a sensation of going/falling forward. With panning, I think I've never had problems. As mentioned in the post Senja linked, if I have control over the zooming (instead of automatic animations), I can prepare myself for possible nausea.
