Do you have any idea as to what would cause this?
No idea. The standard way G-code is interpreted is how I wrote above. Some manufacturers of machine controllers may choose to differ.

Also, it should be noted that an "R" word in the G02 line is not capable of producing a 360 degree arc. For a full circle, I and J coordinates must be used.
