Sweep remove on 3D surface - not working properly w/o "keep profile orientation"

in General
I'm trying to create a ball joint slot that is swept along the line in 3D space. However, it does not work when I want the orientation to follow the curve.
This is an example of a rectangular slot working fine.

Now, when trying to do the same thing along a curve that is projected onto a surface, it only works if I check "Keep profile orientation"

Without keeping the orientation, it won't work for my needs. As seen if I "add" a new part, instead of remove.

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong, of it is not possible to use this sweep function along 3D surfaces
