Bjorn,

Do you check the return result from TransformPoint().  My guess would
be that the code is giving up at some point in the transformtion in which
case it should be returning an error code. Possibly it fails just after
converting the values in degrees to radians?

I tried something close to this with cs2cs before realizing that the
core error is that you are presumably mixing up x and y.  The
xyz[0] should be x or longitude, and xyz[1] should y or latitude.
A latitude of 103 is out of bounds (-90 to 90) so the transformation
terminates.  Unfortunately, when I switch things, I don't get a value
very close to what you are expecting though at least it does produce
a value.

warmerda at iBook% cs2cs +proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80 +to +proj=omerc
+lat_0=4 +lonc=102.25 +alpha=323.02579 +k=0.99984 +x_0=804671
+ellps=GRS80
1.8 103
*       * 0.00
103 1.8
888148.42       -243199.56 0.00

Perhaps this helps a little?

Best regards,
