As I said, there is no guarantee at all that I had the best moves
for black in the line I emailed. I just picked something where black
wins.

So you don't agree black wins there. Well what a surprise.

My implementation of SE for crafty (which is suboptimal) finds
that black is ahead (it doesnt see the win of the piece -yet-)
three plies earlier than normal crafty.

As I said before. It's not because _you_ can't see something that
it isn't there.
