I tend to pronounce it pretty far back too, but not curled upwards.
I'm not sure why I do that. (FWIW I haven't actually heard it
pronounced, except perhaps in places like English <please> [p_hKi:z];
strangely, when I pronounce <please> like that, it does have the same
point of articulation as a regular /l/.)
