Comment (by halfhaggis):

 I'm not sure what the right approach to fixing this in qgis is, but using
 the command-line tools cs2cs and proj, I get the correct results for the
 projections with the -m flag. As warmerdam suggests, it appears that axis
 orientation control would solve this.

 I came to this conclusion after extensive experimentation and discussion
 with Gerald Evenden via the proj4 mailing list.

 This [http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/proj/2008-August/003608.html
 post] and this [http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/proj/2008-
 August/003620.html post] seem most relevant.
