My only asymmetry is in counting blocked pawns, although it is now done better since crafty understands that a pawn isn't blocked if you have a potential lever on the pawn blocking it. But here, with opposite castling, black's kingside gets shredded, white's does not, so Crafty gets pretty happy with the pieces it can swing over to the kingside (it thinks). It later sees that black has a few threats as well, even though the pawns in front of the white king are intact.
