Interactivelinearprogramming gives the wrong answer

Here are two version of the same linear programming problem :

$min\ -1.8x-y +600|x\leq30;y\leq32;2x+3y\leq90;10x+6y\leq230$ $min\ 4.2x+5y +6z|x\leq30;y\leq32;2x+3y\leq90;10x+6y\leq230;x+y+z = 100;$

The first one, is simply the second after elimination of the $z$ variable. Here is one Sagemath code to solve the first

%display latex
A=matrix([[1,0],[0,1],[2,3],[10,6]])
b=vector([30,32,90,230])
c=vector([-1.8,-12])
inc=InteractiveLPProblem(A,b,c,["I_A","I_B"],problem_type="min",objective_constant_term=600)#la forme du problem_type est obligatoire pour InteractiveLPProblemStandardForm
show(inc)
inc.plot()
inc=inc.standard_form()
inc = inc.run_simplex_method()
show(inc)

But the answer is obviously false. I have use the same type of code to solve the second.

%display latex
A=matrix([[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[2,3,0],[10,6,0],[1,1,1]])
b=vector([30,32,90,230,100])
c=vector([4.2,5,6])
inc=InteractiveLPProblem(A,b,c,["x","y","z"],problem_type="min",constraint_type=['<=','<=','<=','<=','=='],objective_constant_term=600)
show(inc)
inc=inc.standard_form()
inc = inc.run_simplex_method()
show(inc)

Here the answer is infeasibility.

But with the following code I reach the good answer (verified by Lips <- Sourceforge, which gives the same answer for both problems):

n=5 #nombre de contraintes
m=3 #nombre de variables
A= matrix(n,m,[1,0,0,0,1,0,2,3,0,10,6,0,1,1,1]) #les coefficients
bmin=[0,0,0,0,100] #les bornes inférieures pour les contraintes
bmax=[30,32,90,230,100] #les bornes supérieures pour les contraintes (oo=infini)
show(LatexExpr("A="),A)
show(LatexExpr("bmin="),bmin)
show(LatexExpr("bmax="),bmax)
sol=MixedIntegerLinearProgram(maximization=False, solver="GLPK") #on crée le programme
x= sol.new_variable(integer=False, indices=[0..m-1]) #les nouvelles variables sont x_0...x_11
B=A*x #la fonction linéaire pour les contraintes
sol.set_objective(4.2*x[0]+5*x[1]+6*x[2]+600) # fixe l'objectif
#on construit les contraintes avec leurs bornes
for i in range(n):
    sol.add_constraint(B[i], min=bmin[i], max=bmax[i])
sol.show()
sol.solve()
xx=sol.get_values(x)
show(LatexExpr(r"I_A^\star ="),xx[0],LatexExpr(r", I_B^\star ="),xx[1],LatexExpr(r", E^\star ="),xx[2], LatexExpr(r" \text{ et } C^\star ="),sol.get_objective_value())

So I wonder if I have made a mistake or if there is an error in the code. I am perfectly aware that the interactivelinearprogramming package is construct for pedagogical reason. But some things are not very obvious. For instance it is sensitive to the order of the options.
