I agree.  I have seen this with Monarch.

>more acute eval makes it higher

When I went from a piece value table to a basic leaf eval the stat *fell* for
Monarch.  This was probably due to the basic eval routine adding higher
variability than a simple piece square table.  Hopefully if I improve the eval
further it will start to climb but I haven't seen what you describe.
