To elaborate a bit - way back when EMC's interpreter was first written, it was designed for mills. That is why it assumes XY planes (G17) until it sees either G18 or G19 to tell it otherwise. Since a normal lathe can only do XZ (G18) arcs, it might make sense to put G18 in the RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE entry in the .ini file of a lathe configuration.
