I get about -0.044 for this pair.

To Jay. If we can't agree on the EV of one strategy vs another we have no hope of solving these problems.

Read the Mathematics of Poker for one way to get exact solutions to [0,1] games. This is old, old stuff, and I'm sure someone will use the method described in that book to produce the correct answer at some point.

My techniques don't apply to the continuous [0,1] game but can handle more general discrete games, so I'm not trying to solve your problem, I'm just trying to show you that your own approach is giving completely rubbish answers. If this is not helpful I'll just stop and let you be.
