Why is the profile twisting?

With only 2 points and 2 vectors as references and targets, the Orient(direction) component hasnt enough info to fully orient the object in 3D. So I guess it chooses some reference planes which works ok when everything is in the same plane, but are not appropriate in general cases.

Notice the twist doesnt occur when your input points are all in the same plane.

Attached file is a fix using the other Orient component, but it doesnt really solve the problem.
