Just out of curiosity, was the 401k in which you were deferring to, was it a "ROTH 401k"? If so, 'front side' taxes make sense in that case. Outside of that, I'd have not a clue as to why they pulled the taxes (Fed) on the front side when you elected 100% deferment to the "vanilla/traditional" 401k.
Look into it and let me know what you find out.
