The LBP, HAAR, HOG detector still detect faces even at "wrong" scales due to the great capabilities of the model to fit something similar to a "face" in "tricky" conditions. You are probably detecting faces at a wrong scale and the fine tuning of the position of the face (or sub-parts of the faces) fails.
Have your tried to print the detected faces at those scales?
