I don't think it's a latitude/distance vs Pythagoras thing because the two SE points are only about 1.25 degrees apart - you'd expect about 1 part in 72 difference. (You can get a lot of useful work done with Pythagoras and a lat/long if you assume that the equator to pole gore is a triangle rather than curved - linear variance rather than with the cosine, it works well wherever there are people/paid gis work.)
