This is because the (slow, knowlegable) pre-processor is operating on a position very similar to the leaf nodes where the piece-square tables are used. Positional problems should only show up on the deeper searches. And even then, most of the moves will look superficially ok. The positional mistakes will be to do with playing for a postional goal that is going to disappear in a few moves due to tactics. You usually can't see that this is wrong unless you calculate through the tactics yourself.
