My own investigation into the graphviz source seems to indicate that
lib/common/output.c is probably where this bug is located. That file
contains the dot output code, and is where the '-y' vertical flip is
implemented which would explain why only dot output is affected.

It seems that all co-ordinates output undergo a translation and possible
vertical flip when written out from that code. Since 2.6.23, it also
looks like the file was completely modified to use a different units
when working with co-ordinates, I guess that's when this bug was introduced.

Yes, it renders the dot file itself. It needs dot's output so it can
handle things like the user selecting various graph nodes.

Ah, I already submitted a bug report (which I should have mentioned),
although all it contained was the input dot and broken output dot files.
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a sane bugtracker there so I
couldn't provide a reference to the upstream bug report.
