Which are you using? I tried <2393> from the epsg file:

# KKJ / Finland Uniform Coordinate System
<2393> +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=27 +k=1.000000 +x_0=3500000 +y_0=0
+ellps=intl +towgs84=-90.7,-106.1,-119.2,4.09,0.218,-1.05,1.37 +units=m
+no_defs  <>

just last week, and got within decimetres of the right values according
to the Ollikainen publication.

The command I used was

./cs2cs +proj=latlong +ellps=WGS84 +to +init=epsg:2393

The test point I use is triangulation point 158:

23d55'11.134"E  63d29'4.016"N 23.847
3346722.90 7046208.88

from Matti Ollikainen (1993): GPS-koordinaattien muuntaminen
Kartastokoordinaateiksi, pages 29-31 (Finnish Geodetic Institute)

Are you sure you are using the right zone? There are four of them,
2391-2394, three degrees apart.
