My bad, I feel very stupid, I found the solution 5 minutes after posting: the screws on the z-axis coupler were untightened, so the coupler was a bit loose and the axis was not turning correctly, resulting in Z value getting off slowly. I found by playing with the ulticontroller, noticing that when I set the z-axis to 0.0, it was off, then hitting home (relying on end switches) it was fine, then playing with th z axis again, it was getting more and more off.
Man, when I think I have made every possible mistake and that now it's gonna be ok, I always find new ones
