[PROJ] Unitconvert after topocentric conversion

Hi

I would like to compute the difference in a topocentric system (ENU) from
points in geocentric coordinates... with the output in millimetres.

echo 4000000.0000 300000.0000  5000001.0000 | cct +pipeline +step
+proj=topocentric +X_0=4000000.0000 +Y_0=300000.0000 +Z_0=5000000.0000
+step +proj=unitconvert +xy_in=m +xy_out=mm +z_in=m +z_out=mm
        0.0000         0.6232        0.7820           inf

But that is exactly the same output if I do not do the unit conversion.

echo 4000000.0000 300000.0000  5000001.0000 | cct +pipeline +step
+proj=topocentric +X_0=4000000.0000 +Y_0=300000.0000 +Z_0=5000000.0000
        0.0000         0.6232        0.7820           inf

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.
