I've been looking at this too to recreate what I experienced but I can't 
find any way to recreate the behavior.
I'll get back to this thread as soon as I run into the issue again.

Another issue that cause confusion with points is when you write:
3 at 4 + 5 at 6 =>  a B3DVector3(8.0 9.0 6.0)
This is of course the right answer but not what _I_ expected at all, 
witch is:
(3 at 4) + (5 at 6) => 8 at 10
I guess this is something you have to run into a few times to remember.
