Well, even with considering just one round in the future, its going to include the new starting setup for the next round, which will be very different than the current round....
Consider the differences between the two games when the SB folds to the BB:
In the first game the new stacks will be 2170 and 830 (2.6:1)
In the second game the new stacks will be 1170 and 1830 (1:1.5)
These future game setups are very asymmetric and have obviously different equity value for each. So, even though the "current round" equity of folding 170 chips is equal in both situations (because cEV = $EV when heads-up), the equity contributed from possible future states is not equal and gives rise to the differences between these setups.
