blockMesh pipe shape not preserved in bend

I am creating different pipe bends in blockMesh, but experience that the shape midway is heavily distorted, that is - not circular. I have looked over the vertices and arc midpoints, but cannot find any major mistakes. Is this a bug? Or should the pipe be created in smalles increments? I believe that this has not been a problem before... I attach a screenshot and blockMeshDict-file.
