RaycastHit2D.distance shows wrong value when using Vector2.up

Physics2D

-

To reproduce this bug:

1. Open the attached project
2. Open 'RaycastHit2D' scene
3. It has a 'RayOrigin' object which casts ray and 2 box colliders, one in the right side and one above
4. Press play
5. In the console, RaycastHit2D.distance is printed
6. When the ray is cast to Vector.right direction, the result is correct
7. When the ray is cast to Vector.up direction, the result is incorrect

    I can reproduce this using this piece of code:

    RaycastHit2D groundTest = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, new Vector2(0, -1), 5, CollidingMask);
    Debug.Log(string.Format("Hit.Distance: {0}", groundTest.distance));
    Debug.Log(string.Format("Vector2.Distance: {0}", Vector2.Distance(new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y),groundTest.point)));
    Debug.Log(string.Format("Magnitude: {0}", (new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y)- groundTest.point).magnitude));

    The output is for example:
    Hit.Distance: 4.352383
    Vector2.Distance: 0.6476175
    Magnitude: 0.6476175
