Why no preference to my first suit?

In this hand, GIB weirdly declined to give preference to my opening heart bid in favor of leaving me in my second suit:

In the same hand (from old Cavendish tournament), Moss (opposite Gitelman) gave the natural preference to 2♥ after the same initial sequence, making an overtrick. The other N/S pair (no bidding given) ended up in 3NT making - I assume North must have bid 2NT and South raised to game (assuming they were playing a natural system). Play must have been pretty tricky despite the combined 26 points.

Just to clarify, I mistakenly linked to the Cavendish hand instead of the hand I played with GIB - in my hand GIB passed my 2♣ bid after the same initial bidding.

Much like this one that GIB just perpetrated:
