GGroundOverlay actually thinks its getting a "flat" projected image
and tries to project it into Mercator with some very clever
JavaScript. Since you seem to have an already correctly projected
image, GGroundOverlay causes your map to get stretched into a
misalignment. This isn't a problem but a feature.

Your problem is especially evident because you're using a low zoom
level and a full earth image. GGroundOverlay is a lot less sensitive
when looking at a zoom 15 image as the stretching is almost
imperceptible.

The solution is to use an overlay method that doesn't alter the image
but instead simply lays it correctly over the map. I wrote such a
library and called it "ProjectedOverlay" - it can be found here:

If you want to use this library, please download it and call it from
your own server.
