Something weird with Globe Map coordinates.

 

I'm using the latest (April 2018) PowerBI release. I have about 25 datapoints across the globe georeferenced by coordinates (no variable in Globe Map "Location" field). 24 of those points plot at correct places. A point with coordinates of Lat=60.0 Long=0.0 (which should plot east of Shetlands, UK) plots in the middle of Indian Ocean (as if it has Lat = 0.0 Long = 60.0). I triple checked my dataset (which is a DirectQuery of a Microsoft SQL database) and I'm confident it is correct. Changing the Longitude to -1.0 the point moves to where it belongs. Changing it back to 0.0 brings me back midway between Somalia and Maldives.
