I noticed this today.

Open feature
...Open Strategy
......Open Point List
Selected Z Coord 0.072500 to add a formula (simple math)

Shows Formula dialog box open and the PCM string (This is opened by right clicking the mouse and selecting "Formula".

Shows the same Z Coord selection now highlighted in Yellow due to entering a formula value.
Take note of the X Coord box where the 0.000000 value was, has changed to 0.147500 while the chosen selection remains the same value while highlighted.
Take note the value in X Coord is not the correct calculated value from the PCM formula entered.

Probably not a bug but a feature. Per default the formula inserted will be in reference to the coordinate system selected in the feature. So when you input 0.0725 in the formula you are not inputting the z-value in the feature alignment (which is half the symmetry point width) but in the alignment selected in the feature (Base Alignment in this case).
This can be changed with the button PCM-ref that you can see in your last image.

Heck of a feature that can cause a potential crash.... 🙄
Using PCM-Ref changed the value in the intended location but still left the deviation in the other axis.

This was not normal in prior versions, I've used this uncountable times.
