Strange direction of projected curves

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Running Rhino 4.

The example shows three short lines in the z=0 plane, and two surfaces above them. The two surfaces look identical, but one "simple surface" is merely a triangle. The other "surface" coincides with the triangle almost exactly (edges are the same, maximum deviation about 10^-15, same Direction.) but has a more complicated structure.

When one Projects the short lines to the two surfaces, the resulting Projected lines have opposite Directions.

Hm, I dunno - in V6 the curve direction is the same as the inputs when projected.

Have you actually tried Rhino 6 on the example I gave?

I did and as Pascal said
