Yes, you are correct.
The previous algorithm does not try to work out a general solution, but chooses the middle points as tangential points to define the inscribed.
We can make this behavior robust, and user can choose to accept this ellipse or specify a tangential point.

So I'm guessing the code behind the tool is already doing something extra to create a unique solution. Perhaps it is making the ellipse touch the midpoints of the four selected lines?
