Gary, Thanks for the prompt test and report.
I agree that the ability to put a dot at locations where arrows are below a threshold would be good. I will add it. I think it should be similar to a circle marker that scales with the arrow width, and has a diameter that is a fraction of that width. I also observed the stroking problem with small arrows and finite linewidth. I haven't checked into it, but I am wondering whether the problem is in the specification of the line join type.
