This shouldn't happen.  You are sure that you use the max values
from the max RRA and that you are using the newest rrdtool ?

so: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/bin/rrdtool
    --end <some number on a 2-hour UTC boundary>
    --start end-<some number representing an even number of hours>
    DEF:bytes=my.rrd:myds:AVERAGES
    DEF:maxes=my.rrd:myds:MAX
    GPRINT:bytes:AVERAGE:"%6.2lf %sbps"
    GPRINT:maxes:MAX:"%6.2lf %sbps"

This shouldn't produce different results on the maxima for
different RRAs.  I don't know about the perl hooks but this
should not make a difference I guess.

What happens if you use "rrdtool fetch" with that time frame
and with the "--resolution" flag?

cheers,
