Uncheck use Incremental values from holes and lines and see if that corrects what you are seeing. The other thing is what does the code look like? Remember what you seen on the screen is not always what you get for code. When you backplot or run machine simulation what does it look like?

It backplots just like that.  Clearance is locked on incremental because this is a 5 axis toolpath.

Using safety zone gets it to retract, but since the toolpath is on the inside of a cylinder the retract zone is not ideal.

Safety zone doesn't work on ID parts. Might try using lines instead of holes and see if that helps.
