This was answered in the helpdesk (with full input file), repeating answer here to close this out.

The primary problem here is that these zone thermostat actuators have no impact until the next call to the Predictor:

EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator, FC2_4_HEATSET, !- Name Office 1121, !- Actuated Component Unique Name Zone Temperature Control,!- Actuated Component Type Heating Setpoint; !- Actuated Component Control Type

So, any EMS program that sets these should use calling point BeginTimestepBeforePredictor. That's why there's a lag happening here
