My reaction:
>
> 1a. The dog bit the man.  ?As well, the man bit the dog.
  1b. The dog bit the man.  The man bit the dog as well.
  2a. The dog bit the man.  Moreover, the man bit the dog.
  2b.The dog bit the man.  ?The man bit the dog, moreover.

I can see no reason for these judgments. It just is the way it is.
