I did dig into LaunchTiming.TimeToPlane, but it is hard to understand with current documentation.

You need to show what the value is of the phase angle next to "launch to plane" is before you press the button to launch. If that is not zero then you are entering a manual offset in degrees to lead the launch.

commented

that's probably from the rendezvous planner it needs to do a launch to compute the lead angle which it saves there, so that when you revert it should be (more) accurate, but it is the same setting as launch-to-plane uses.

Thanks, actually that was the problem. Somehow a random value was persistent saved :-(
