You almost certainly have a zero thou track somewhere else in the design, on that layer. Protel, when it draws off-axis pads in gerbers, uses an 'appropriate' track, picked from ones it has already used. It picks zero thou, and fails to render the pad. Find that skinny track, and somehow avoid using it. (mine was part of a fiducial). Annoying, isn't it... (cost me an expensive set of PCBs, this bug, since the components that got left off were short-circuit shunt features, under BGA packages which were soldered down before we found the bug).
