See this Comm Center thread (Bernard Miller). The post-AF pointing update is possibly replaced by an autoflip, but the pre-flip is ignored. It's wrong here.

        '
        ' If need to do a pointing update, get that done now too. Check to see if
        ' the upcoming (first) exposure would cross the flip point, and if so,
        ' do the auto-flip (which will do a pointing update itself).
        '
        If Prefs.PointingUpdates.Enabled Then 
            If PREFLIPMARGIN > 0 Then z = PREFLIPMARGIN Else z = 0  ' Ignore negative PREFLIPMARGIN
            If Telescope.AlignmentMode = 2 Then                     ' For GEM
