Controlling direction of move face?

Or, more precisely, see below:

I'm moving the curved underside face (and its symmetrical companion.) I've chosen the highlighted top surface plane as my direction, so what I thought I'd get was a move purely in the -Z direction (as indicated by the pull arrow.) Where is the extension in the -X direction coming from, and how can I not have it? Translate is behaving more like Offset; the effect I want is pure -Z translate

Before the move face, the long edge of the top face is 19.25. After Move Face 1, the long edge is 20.376.
Let me ask it differently -- how would I achieve what I want?
