I have no idea about why they are different. I would approach this by 
taking a three-atoms test molecule, measure all bond lengths with a 
ruler (and calculate corresponding rmsd's) and then put this molecule 
into phenix.refine and refmac and see what they output.

Do you have such example?

Pavel.
