It turns out that this was already discussed in the original ticket for the feature, https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/2068, and was fixed in a pull request https://bitbucket.org/eschnett/carpet/pull-requests/19/correct-error-in-vertex-centred/diff, which was reviewed as OK by Roland in https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/2074, but never applied. I just applied it. Hopefully it will fix the problems.

** SphericalHarmonicReconGen: could be bug in the reader or in PITTNull
code. PITTNull is sensitive to optimization since it includes the full
Einstein field equations. Check if using -O3 instead of -Ofast would
help.

ubuntu.cfg etc.

I would suggest that generic.cfg should be more conservative, since it is the default probably used by new users, and we don't want them running into edge cases caused by aggressive optimisations. Can we reduce the optimisation level in generic.cfg to -O2? Then we could have a generic-no-opt or something, which really had no optimisations at all.
