On first look, I think it's reprojection of AGD84 to WGS84 (EPSG:4326), and GDA94 to WGS84. This is expected behaviour.
Thanks, I knew I was missing something but didn't click that it was that.
A further query from the support ticket has been made, as it doesn't appear that AGD84 to WGS84 explains this issue by a few orders of magnitude. There may be something else occurring.
That does explain it to some extent, however A conversion from AGD84 to WGS84 (or to the EPSG:4326 projection) in that area would be a movement of approximately 207 meters toward the North East. The figure you have given by rounding moves the point around 26,000 meters to the North West. This is not encompassed by the uncertainty of 10,000 meters. It does place the point around 26,200 meters from where it was reported. A more accurate placement would be still around -25, 135.24 with an uncertainty of 10,000 (actually the MANIS calculator gives an uncertainty for that verbatim location plus the geodetic conversion of 1,499.6 meters). The uncertainty inherent in the Geodetic Datum Conversion (~207 meters) is less that the precision of the verbatim coordinate of .01 degrees (~1,700 meters or so at this latitude)
Also, coordinate conversion on functional test data seems for be failing for datums supplied as AMG66 or GDA94. Location-1.csv.zip
