Hmm... except that it only happens sometimes, and what I've noticed is that whenever I reshape the arc radius I sometimes unintentionally also introduce a twist problem. I suspect it's because one edge has a slightly different arc radius than the other edge. The question becomes, how to correct. I don't have a solution. It's pretty easy to adjust the arc radius by grabbing both rolled edges and either pinching or stretching the fender (as I've illustrated in flickr and posted in various fender-related posts), but doing it to one side and not the other to correct for twist is indeed a challenge which I have not solved.
