CGTalk - weird rig behaviour

I'm using the default XSI rig and I'm having a hard time understanding why it is that when I move the "UpperBody" in the Z axis, it slowly moves down in the Y axis the further it's away from the world center, or it's parent center.

Just give it a try, create a rig from the default biped guide. Create a key on frame 0, Move the "UperBody" about 100 untits in the Global Z axis on frame 50 or so, create another key. Now check the Y axis Fcurve in the Animation Editor.
It goes from -2.2603 to zero...???!!

Does anyone have a clue why that happens ?

Check the neutral pose of the Upperbody,

This is the same question ask in XSIBase,

I am a XSI beginner and I had a really frustrating time figuring this one out.

Why doesn't Softimage fix all the little issues with Michael Isner's default rig... I thought it was supposed to be production-ready.

Or is it that most people don't use it, and just create their own rigs? I use it because I don't really know how to set up a rig myself yet, but it seems to have lots of quirks like this that could easily be fixed in one of the patch releases.
