Interesting indeed...

The log-file in question:

#[Rf5](-210)[Rf5](-210) -210v T=73
Rd5f5 kf2e2 Re8g8 pg6g7 Kh6h5 rg4g1 Rf5f3 bc3b2 Kh5h6 rg1g4 Rf3f5 bb2d4 Pe4e3
ke2e3P Rf5f1 ke3e4 Rf1f6p

11(6) #[Rf5](-260)v[find a move]#########[TIMEOUT][et3  1295 sec]

#[Rg8](-183)[Rd1](-180) -180  T=204
Rd5d1 pf6f7 Rd1f1 kf2f1R Kh6h5 pf7e8R/q Kh5g4r

Analysis of Rf5+ (using Analysis Include):

00:00:06  9.00  -1.70   1..Rf5+ 2.Ke1 e3 3.f7 Rd8 4.Ke2
                        Kh5 5.g7 Rxf7 6.g8=Q  (1)

00:00:23 10.00  -1.73   1..Rf5+ 2.Ke3 Rf3 3.Ke2 Rxc3 4.f7
                        Rd8 5.g7 Rxc2 6.Ke1 Rc1 7.Kf2 e3
                        8.Kg2 Rc2 9.Kh3 e2 10.g8=Q  (6)

00:00:58 11.00  -1.73   1..Rf5+ 2.Ke3 Rf3 3.Ke2 Rxc3 4.f7
                        Rd8 5.g7 Rxc2 6.Ke1 Rc1 7.Kf2 e3
                        8.Kg2 Rc2 9.Kh3  (23)

00:02:41 12.00  -2.21   1..Rf5+ 2.Ke2 Rg8 3.g7 Kh5 4.Rg1

00:06:24 13.00  -2.37   1..Rf5+ 2.Ke3 Rf3 3.Ke2 Rg8 4.Bd2
                        Kh5 5.Rg5 Kh4 6.f7 Rg7 7.Re5 Kg3
                        8.Be1 Kg2  (161)

So a constantly dropping score for Rf5+

Then Analysis of Rd1 (using Analysis Include):

00:00:04  9.00  -3.27   1..Rd1 2.f7 Rf8 3.Ke3 Rdd8 4.Bf6
                        Ra8 5.Be7 Kg7 6.Bxf8 Rxf8  (1)

00:00:11 10.00  -3.48   1..Rd1 2.g7 Rd5 3.Ke2 Rf5 4.Rh4
                        Kg6 5.Rh8 Rg8 6.Rxg8 Rf3  (4)

00:00:31 11.00  -3.71   1..Rd1 2.g7 Rd5 3.Ke2 Rf5 4.Rh4
                        Kg6 5.Rh8 Rg8 6.Rxg8 Rxf6  (11)

00:01:25 12.00  -4.03   1..Rd1 2.g7 Rd5 3.Ke2 Rd7 4.g8=Q
                        Rxg8  (31)

00:03:49 13.00  -4.20   1..Rd1 2.g7 Rd5 3.Ke2 Rd7 4.g8=Q
                        Rxg8  (85)

Rf5+ looks clearly better and the score of -1.80 for Rd1 given by
DB looks ridiculous and I don't understand it either.
