Hi,

I can try to repeat your test some day. Is this your workflow:

1. gdal_translate -of VRT -gcp p1 l1 e1 n1 -gcp p2 l2 e2 n2 -gcp p3 l3 e3 n3
   -gcp p4 l4 e4 n4 -gcp p5 l5 e5 n5 input.tif temp_with_gcp.vrt

2. gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:28992 -t_srs EPSG:28992 -tps temp_with_gcp.vrt warped.tif

3. Measure the coordinates of the ground control points from warped.tif 
   with some GIS software like QGis and find out disappointed that 
   they have shifted.
