Hmm, I think that's to be expected. The edges and points are generally closer to the grid than the faces. Think of it as you've started with a perfect sphere made of wood, and you just sanded it down to get those flat triangles. The edges and points represent the places that haven't been sanded down, so therefore, generally, they're closer to the grid than the flat surfaces.

The Attribute Transfer is nice to prototype an idea, but it's rather slow (unless they rebuild it since I used it) compared to the execution speed of a Vop Sop. In Vop Sop, I use the PcOpen + Pc Filter to mimic the Attribute Transfer at God speed :)

While we're speaking of the xyz+PrimUV, I found it has a weird behaviour compared to the ClosestLocation of ice.
Here's a screen shot of what I have :

Basicaly a Grid emit some particles with a Pop solver, I build a PopVop to create a Velocity(v) that make the particles going from their position toward the closest UV location on the Sphere. If you look at the screenshot you can see that the location has some preferences for the points and edges rather than the polygons area.

Have I missed something ?

    Take a look at the "primuv" and "xyzdist" VEX functions. They
    allow you to get near identical behaviour to closest point look
    ups. It's not too much work to wrap them up into reusable HDAs.
    (In fact, I'd recommend doing it as a good way to start getting
    your head around HDA creation as a process.)

    Strange thing you describe here. I’ve found that most advice
    comes in the from of using the Attribute Transfer SOP.
