I wonder if the additional wall area is increasing the diffuse solar reflected from the ground which then enters the window. I would think a ray striking the wall, scattering backwards, and some of that hitting the ground, would never enter the window (ray tracing), but it's worth a look at which components are affecting the window's incident solar. If you haven't already, I would look closer at all these reports.
