That’s the same problem than in [Rotation and scaling of child not preserved properly when parent is non-uniformly scaled and rotated](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/rotation-and-scaling-of-child-not-preserved-properly-when-parent-is-non-uniformly-scaled-and-rotated/11092) and it seems we would need to support shearing to be able to handle this.

So, unfortunately, we can’t do much about it (one solution is to bake the transformation, if it’s acceptable for your use case - see linked thread above).
