Right this is a precision issue.

They probably hold the coords as a double precision floats.

Right a float has ~8 digits of precision. '140' is 3 digits,
'0.0001' is 4 more digits so even there you are on the edge of
140.0001 -> 140. If that happens then you have an arc that
goes from 0, 140 to 0, 140 with a radius of 140... unfortunately
there are an infinite number of such circles. If you really want
such a circle I would suggest using two arc commands. Have the
first do one half of the circle and have the second finish the
circle, then you can really close the circle, rather than leaving
a small 'flat' edge.

For example (not entirely sure the arc flags are right).
d="M0,0 L0,140 A140,140 1 1 0 -140,140 A140,140 1 1 0 0,140z"

Implementations are allowed to hold coordinate data as float
so one can reasonably argue this is a bug in your specification
of the path.
