Ok - here's the correct fix:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/7e089a1c01c3996a43a90c79caa6fb549a737bdd

You were very close - the tricky part here is reading the project
ellipsoid setting. That's not an easy thing to do in QGIS 2.x

The equivalent fix in 3.0 looks like:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/plugins/processing/algs/qgis/HubDistancePoints.py#L118

(This part of the API has been cleaned up a lot!)
