The example was converging on the maxima before, not the minima. I think the initial point of$x=(a,a)$ causes it to search directly orthogonal to the constraint boundary and become stuck with a 0 gradient. Moving the point slightly in y means the search direction is not orthogonal to the constraint boundary and it no longer finds a maxima.
