I am certainly not an expert, but from what I understood, true-north azimuth would in both cases be the same. To me this looks like grid azimuth, on a plate carree grid maybe. I couldn't find anything in the docs except "The azimuth is the heading measured clockwise from north." which lacks some details.
Could you shed a light on this? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding something.
Thanks

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I am a bit confused by the azimuth output of geographiclib. I use the Python implementation, but I guess that doesn't make a difference.

Sorry to be so late answering this...
The documentation in the C++ library explains how to interpret the azimuth at one of the poles:
Let me know of you have further questions.
