There has to be an error, else the B+ would get shorted to ground thru the coil. Manufacturers of such coils I think did not have an industry standard for what the individual lug connections were to be. Meaning that one coil will have a diferent pattern than another. One qay to check that you have the two windings correctly identified: the winding with the higher resistance will be the resonant inductance, with the capacitor, sets the frequency, and have a voltage close to ground. The other winding, with lower resistance, is the feedback winding, and will have B+ voltage on it. Assuming that this is correct, then The phasing of this winding is important. Try swapping the conections on this winding.
Looks like you are seeing rectifier tube action, so the tube is probably good.
