Follow Active Quads gives skewed results

Support Materials and Textures

I’m following a Blender Cloud tutorial. Now I’m unwrapping all the game asset elements. The guy in the tutorial uses Follow Active Quads to unwrap one piece, and it gives a nice, straight, rectangular result. But when I reach this point, and choose Follow Active Quads, I get a totally messed up-skewed result. I’m attaching a screengrab of what I have and the blend file. How to get a straight result? (I tried to change the method of Follow Active Quads, but it won’t help)

Choosing next face which is closer to square shape and aligning it’s unwrap first gives expected result here:

From my experience “Follow Active Quads” works better sometimes if you reset the UVs first. So:
U > Reset, then
U > Follow Active Quads.
