I got the same result, then I re-read the instructions on the screen.  They
say to do the multiplier check only if the contest has country multipliers. 
That's not the case in the IARU.  So I don't think this is *supposed* to
work.

>From http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2002/rules-iaru.html :

"7. QSO Points: 
7.1. Contacts within your own ITU zone, as well as QSOs with any IARU-member
society HQ stations, count one point. "

Weird, but I guess if you run the contest you make the rules<grin>.
