Two G1 moves at right angles on an inside corner define a shape that cannot be cut with a round endmill of any finite size. EMC makes the very reasonable assumption that your g-code describes the shape you want. If your g-code describes a sharp inside corner, you are asking the impossible and EMC won't do it. If you actually want an inside corner with a radius, write the g-code that way. (line-arc-line) Then EMC will give you the shape you are asking for.
