Hi Frank,

Height is not measured wrt. the projection plane, it's measured from the ellipsoid or 
geoid. And both of these are common to any UTM
zone, so there ought not be any difference when points are converted from one zone to 
the next.

However, if you switch from one datum to another, there usually will be a correction 
to apply.
