Optimised tracks not rounding leeward mark

Morning all, I've not seen this before ....
I'm running a coastal race route, about 60 miles there and back.  The leeward mark is an island, so I have a pair of marks "Island In" and "Island Out", maybe 0.3 mile apart.
The optimised courses (4) don't observe the island marks at all, doing dramatic turns maybe 5 miles beforehand, on what looks to be a PredictWind grib area boundary.  I have weather in that grib area.
Extend wind in time changes nothing.  Saildocs GFS as a grib source has the same issue.

Que?

If it is out and return, don't leave it to port or starboard ...

Re: Optimised tracks not rounding leeward mark

OK NIck, worked just fine when the two leeward marks set to "Sail to".  But why?  And I've navigated that race maybe 6 times before, and not encountered the problem before?
