Comment (by vbraun):

 A ray by itself does not define an edge, so you can't identify these two
 concepts. I claim that it does make sense to treat V-representation
 objects (vertices, rays, lines) on the same footing when talking about
 vertex-adjacencies. To span an edge you need two vertices, a vertex and a
 ray, or a vertex and a line.

 Alternatively, you can understand this by going to projective space. Now
 rays are just points at infinity...

 The original error message in the ticket description is a bug in my code
 for plotting where I didn't handle some special case with rays correctly.
