Yes - that happens often because the beam centre recorded in the image
header doesn't specify what coordinate system is being used. So these
values are often 'program specific' and might even depend on the
'standard program' used for processing at the beamline.

Please note that the actual values are nearly always correct (apart
from some beamlines that rely solely on def.site files for HKL2000 and
don't populate the image header with meaningful values): it is the
coordinate convention that is missing.

We try to record those specialities on the autoPROC wiki at

  http://www.globalphasing.com/autoproc/wiki/index.cgi?BeamlineSettings

where you could find a lot of settings relevant to XDS processing for
different beamlines and detectors.

Cheers

Clemens

PS: we always hope that any change in beamline/detector/header
    configuration is passed down to software developers before any
    user starts collecting data ... but most of the time the
    problems/changes are only discovered after the fact ;-)
