Comment (by lutra):

 I found a way to easy replicate the behaviour. I guess.

 Open a new project, in my case by default it opens in wgs84, then add the
 "alaska" (epsg 2964, projected CRS) shapefile from the qgis sample
 dataset. With OTFR not enabled, the measure area results are wrong.

 Enable OTFR and you'll see now that the tool give right results. Disable
 OTFR and again is all ok.
