Perhaps the 4-1 tablebases have something to do with it :-)
I disable the tablebases completely, and then the Baron doesn't play Bf4:

 15(34)&   2:19.29  66674561   +7.11  Rd6-d8 Re6-e5 Rd8-h8 Kh5-g6 Kf3-g4 Re5-e4
                                      Bg5-f4 Kg6-f6 h4-h5 Re4-a4 h5-h6 Ra4-a7
                                      Rh8-f8 Kf6-g6 h3-h4 Ra7-d7 h4-h5 Kg6-h7
                                      Kg4-f5 Rd7-d8
