If the feedpoint current was at 0 deg of the radiator length, and coil replaces

Providing current maximum is exactly at the bottom end of the coil.

It wasn't. The coil made the antenna too long so the current maximum
was inside the coil. But this points up a measurement problem. I
doubt that these measurements are 5% accurate.
