Does saddle height affect "hands-off" test?

I've been using Steve Hogg's "hands-off" test to determine my saddle fore/aft. (Incidentally, that seems to put me within a few mm of KOP.) While fooling with my fit, I discovered that if I raise my saddle 5 mm from my current height -- which seems to be the most efficient (power/speed), and is within a couple mm of heel-on-pedal -- I have to move the saddle 10 mm further rearward in order to past the HO test. Is that normal? Does that mean that I went too high with the saddle? Or, could it mean I SHOULD have it 5 mm higher and 10 mm further rearward?
