If I'm not mistaken that's not the same thing at all, it's more of a design issue with Crop. You're cropping from the left side of the image, the result of which is that the image starts at position 50 in the virtual space. Basically, you could say the illusion crop node adds a letterbox, it does not crop images like resizing the canvas in Photoshop. It's unintuitive and in a future version we're replace it with a node that works more natural, which simply means having like Shake a 2D offset parameter which by default is linked to the left/bottom of the crop.
