Hello,
the problematic behavior is caused by an invalid pedestrian route.
The edge sequence 633 -629 leads to junction 476 which is not connected
with next route edge -813
This causes the person to walk contrary to the expected direction and thus
reach the arrival position earlier than expected.
In the latest development version of SUMO additional warnings have been
implemented to make the faulty behavior more obvious.
A possible fix would be to either use the sequence 633 -629 -629 -813 or
633 -813

The network itself is problematic insofer that it deviates from the two
possible styles for pedestrian network modelling:
1) with crossings and walkingAreas. This makes it explicit where
pedestrians may cross the road and is the recommended style for detailed
pedestrian simulation (
http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/Simulation/Pedestrians#Building_a_network_for_pedestrian_simulation
)
2) without crossing and walkingAreas but with sidewalks that have no
connections. In this case, pedestrians will assume a fully connected
topology at each intersection but their paths are not modelled (they "jump"
across). This type of network is generated automatically by netconvert when
not generating crossings or walkingareas. Note, that "jumping" potentially
causes negative timeLoss in the current version but this will only be
noticable if the dwadling option is disabled.

In your case the network contains sidewalks that are connected but this
forces awkward detours because there are no connections that allow changing
the walking direction.

regards,
Jakob
