Transform different to its own inverse

edit

When configuring robot_localization today I came across a weird phenomenon which is, I think, an error. I'm using navsat_transform_node to take in our GPS data, and I have the broadcast_utm_transform parameter set to true. When using tf_monitor to view the transforms utm -> map and map -> utm, they actually differ in translational value, and one is not the negative of the other. See here for the result of tf_monitor. The time says '0.000', meaning it is a static transform, so it doesn't seem like it can be multiple publishers.
