Somehow OpenCASCADE badly translates surface 5 in the STEP file. See attached 
.brep of the offending surface: all point evaluations within the surface are 
(wrongly) evaluated on a plane parallel to the surface, but translated.

You should report this bug to the OpenCASCADE developers and attach the STEP 
file.
