Starting from the sphere, there seems to be a very sharp corner, 
followed by some kind of plateau, followed by a large radius that forms 
the top face of the cube.

You can exaggerate it by changing to a bevel (-0.5) and increasing the 
round size to 0.5 (attached is a section view) - maybe this helps to 
debug it?
