Dear experts,
During my use of Roofit to fit my workspace, I found the result did not correspond to the NLL minimum in the fit range. To put it simply, there is a well-defined NLL minimum in the range of [0, pi] but the fit finds the best-fit value to be 0 if starting from 1.5, and for some unknown reason if we start from 2 the correct best-fit value can be found.
The root version I’m using is 6.28.00. For more details about the fit model, dataset and the observed fit issue, I include them in some slides and you may find them in the attached pdf.

There is also a tarball attached which contains the input workspace file and an example macro to reproduce the fit issue. RooFitExtensions are needed for the fit.

It would be great if there is any suggestion or solution for this issue. Many thanks in advance!
