The sequence captioned above is three rolls shorter than the one in my previous post. All moves and cube actions are perfectly played, according to rollouts.
Now for my question, which is preceded by an explanation.
XGR++ (incorrectly) disagreed with one of the plays in the sequence, which is illustrated in the diagram below.

Opponent:35.58% (G:8.20% B:0.40%)
64.42% (G:26.77% B:0.84%)XGR++ plays C (Cross, bar/24 8/4). In case it matters, the 10k (3-ply checker, XGR cube) rollout (not shown) instead supports Z (reverse split, bar/24 13/9) by .016.
After either play, XG, at 3-ply, roller+, ++, whatever, (correctly) doubles and takes. Therefore, shouldn't XGR++ favor the same play regardless of whether the cube is (a) in the center or (b) on Blue's side? After all, when Blue/XG plays his 41, he must know he is going to be cubed -- he may as well own the cube already.
As you can see below, XGR++ changes its choice from C to Z when the cube is placed on Blue's side. My question is: Why does it switch plays?
