Just what result was everyone expecting from the example?
Consider this slightly modified version.
The cube initially extends from -1 to +1 on each axis.
The point (0,1,0) is the center of the top (y=1) face of the cube.
This is still true if the cube is moved in space. Suppose the cube were moved up by 5.
The center of the top face would be at (0,6,0) in the world, but still (0,1,0) in the cube's local space.
The same is true after scaling by 6 in the Y-direction. The top of the cube now
has y=6 in world space, but is still at y=1 in cube space.
