Your subject says that you narrowed down the problem to LaTeX/tikz. If
so, try a forum frequented by tikz wizards, 
e.g. http://tex.stackexchange.com/

Anyhow, I'd try to use sagetex to draw your graph, generating LaTeX file along
the way. Maybe then it would be more clear how to tweak the drawing.

HTH,
