Charlton, I was going to reply that the agg font outliner does not play well with glyphs that contain invalid glyphs (e.g self-intersections, duplicate control-points, etc...). However I've tested that glyph on a simple test mapfile and the outlining works flawlessly (c.f. attached image). I did test with 6.4 and not 6.2, but I do not believe there are any differences between these two versions for this particular testcase. Maybe you can try with 6.4?
