XG Cubeless Numbers Question

When I take an XG rollout and calculate the cubeless equity by hand from XG's values the usual way: Games Won + Gammons Won + BGs Won - Games Lost - Gammons Lost - BGs Lost, I don't get the same number that XG gives for the cubeless equity. This is not an artifact of my method or 32-year-old calculator, because when I did the same calculation for a Snowie 4 rollout of one of the same positions, I got the Snowie cubeless value. It is also not a problem with my XG installation, since I found the same issue in two rollouts that another player sent me.

Does anyone here have an explanation for this difference? Are other people having this issue? Thanks in advance.

The rollouts in question were done 4-ply, 4-ply huge, if that matters, though I can't imagine why it should.
