I think this is due to improper use of the path.simplify_threshold value in the simplification code. It should have been squared since it's used in a 2-dimensional euclidean distance calculation.
I have made the change to SVN r8280 and updated a few of the unit tests that are now more accurate than they used to be. As a workaround (if you're not running from SVN and don't want to rebuild), you can set the rcParam path.simplify_threshold to 0.01, rather than 0.1. Mike Michael Droettboom wrote: > Thanks.
