Thanks for any help! It may be that the line is too close to unity and Agg (the rendering engine) is messing up. That's the best explanation I can think of as well...
However, it does seem like other backends (Ps, Pdf, Cairo) do work. You may try using those as a workaround for now. Note that the SVN trunk also works, possibly due to a) upgrading Agg 2.3 to 2.4, and b) a pretty radical overhaul of the rendering engine, particularly polar plots.
