Comment(by dustymugs):

 The C code underlying ST_AsGDALRaster passes along your desired format and
 the PostGIS raster converted to a GDAL MEM dataset to GDALCreateCopy().
 GDALCreateCopy calls the appropriate format's CreateCopy function to do
 the actual conversion.

 Is the scale along the Y-axis positive or negative?  The values for minY
 and maxY may be flipped because the scale along the Y-axis is positive.
 Calling ST_ScaleY() on the raster will tell you the answer.
