[gdal-dev] gdalwarp generating incorrect coordinates

[spiderplant0]

(re-posting as question didnt appear first time)

Hi, I have georeferenced an image with gdal_translate and then reprojected
it from OSGB36 to googleMaps with gdalwarp.
However the warped TIFF latitude/longitude coordinates are wrong.
The re-projection appears to stretch the map correctly, but I discovered
there was a problem when I ran gdal2tiles and the map was not aligned
correctly.

For the georeferenced file, buckland.tiff, here.....
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B93lksnTC7_cNTg3OGU0MTEtNjNiMC00NWM5LTg5ZjQtMmQyNDIzNmM5NGE5
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B93lksnTC7_cNTg3OGU0MTEtNjNiMC00NWM5LTg5ZjQtMmQyNDIzNmM5NGE5 

According to gdalinfo the coordinates of the lower-left corner are:
easting=241538.5, northing=119812
This corresponds to a latitude of 50.955887

I then run the warping as follows...
gdalwarp.exe -s_srs EPSG:27700 -t_srs EPSG:900913 -r cubic -of GTiff
buckland.tiff buckland_warped.tiff
..and according to gdalinfo the coordinates of the lower-left corner are:
4d15'30.51"W, 51d 8'38.06"N
I.e. a latitude of 51.143906 which is miles off (infact no latitude on the
map is near this value). It should be 50.955887.
Warped file, buckland_warped.tiff, is here....
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B93lksnTC7_cNzIzZWQ0MDYtMTY5Yy00NjY0LThiMjktZjc2YzA3MmU5NjI4
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B93lksnTC7_cNzIzZWQ0MDYtMTY5Yy00NjY0LThiMjktZjc2YzA3MmU5NjI4 

When I run gdal2tiles directly on the unwarped map it does it correctly but
it is not very good quality (it doesnt seem to use such a good pixel
interpolation as gdalwarp).

Does this look like a bug in gdalwarp or am I doing something stupid.

I'm using gdal16 from osgeo4w on Windows 7 64-bit.

Output of gdalinfo on the georeferenced and warped images is below.
Thanks
