This is because of `org-agenda-start-on-weekday' defaulting to 1.
You can bind it to nil in your custom agenda view.

I think we can update the docstrings for `org-agenda-start-day' and
`org-agenda-start-on-weekday' explaining that the latter takes
precedence when agenda span is a week or more.

Will it be enough for you?
