I've reported this before. The Official Party Line is that this isn't a bug, but rather desired behaviour. Basically, the pie chart type always expects data points to add up to 100 (as in 100 percent). 198 and 933 are both over 100, so they both get cropped down to equal portions of a 100% pie, hence the idiotic result you get.
Workaround: You have to actually divide the data by the total and calculate the percentages yourself. Instead of 933 and 198, pass it 82.49 and 17.51. Yes, it's stupid. But that's how Google handles pie charts, evidently.
