I don't know how this works internally, but here is my guess: It tracks the wall, performs what it thinks it 360 deg rotation and then retracks the wall to compute the angle exactly.

So if it is perpendicular it might have taken another wall for the start wall. This would mean that the calibration is way off and thus it is important to stop at the wall.
