Lemony's Camera - Camera non-centered issue

[ZirconStorms]

Script is taken from a Steam Workshop 2013 re-release. Can't find working links to the script on it's own.

#==============================================================================
# ** Lemony's Smooth Map Scrolling (LSMS), (ReStaff March 2013), v.1.0
#==============================================================================
#  This scripts makes the camera move smoothly, but not just while following
# the player but also when using scroll map event commands and in loop maps,
# since it changes how the map scroll is handled by the system.
#==============================================================================
# (*) How to use.-
#==============================================================================
# * You can change the strength of the movement delay by editing LSMS_STR to
# any number you wish, lower values means less delay, and bigger values means
# a stronger delay.
#
# * You can turn off the system at any time during the game, by activating the
# switch that has the id that you can specify in LSMS_SWT variable below.
#
# * The script adjusts the delay strength on the run to avoid letting the
# player off screen when the player is moving or running, to do this, it uses
# a base  value that represents the base speed of the player, change that value
# in LSMS_SPD if you use another default speed for the player. (Default is 4)

end

Specifically, this section:

  alias lsms_setup setup
  def setup(map_id)
    lsms_setup(map_id)
    @lsms_real_x = @lsms_real_y = 0
  end

When smooth scrolling is enabled, map transfers + player starting positions leads to the camera not being centered on the player character. picture:


It's an edit over Game_Map, but I don't know how the engine/default code naturally centers the camera on the player sprite (when it can, anyway - exceptions being when you get to corners of maps and all that). This error(?) occurs with just this script in-game and nothing else added or modified to a blank RPG Maker project, so you can recreate this issue without needing the demo (place the player in a large map and paste the script under Materials).

Demo has been attached below.

EDIT:

I think it may actually be these sections also causing issues:

alias lsms_update_scroll update_scroll
  def update_scroll
    if !$game_switches[LSMS_SWT]
      x = ((@display_x - @lsms_real_x) ** 2 + (@display_x - @lsms_real_x) ** 2)
      y = ((@display_y - @lsms_real_y) ** 2 + (@display_y - @lsms_real_y) ** 2)
      spd_cor = (($game_player.real_move_speed - LSMS_SPD) * LSMS_STR)
      px = Math.sqrt(x) / [2, ((2 + (2 * LSMS_STR)) - spd_cor)].max
      py = Math.sqrt(y) / [2, ((2 + (2 * LSMS_STR)) - spd_cor)].max
      @display_x += (@display_x < @lsms_real_x) ? px : -px
      @display_y += (@display_y < @lsms_real_y) ? py : -py
      return unless scrolling?
      last_x = @display_x
      last_y = @display_y
      do_scroll(@scroll_direction, scroll_distance)
      @scroll_rest -= scroll_distance
    else
      lsms_update_scroll
    end
  end

  # * Calculate Scroll Distance.                                        [MOD]

  alias lsms_scroll_distance scroll_distance
  def scroll_distance
    lsms_on = !$game_switches[LSMS_SWT]
    lsms_on ? (2 ** @scroll_speed / 128.0) : lsms_scroll_distance

Bump.
Not expecting many results, but it's worth a shot.
