Thanks for this analysis. Clearly, there is already a bug here
when the input data is not pristine. I didn't see this message
when I submitted my v3, but normalizing the path data before
computing filters can (hopefully) be done as a small patch
before or after my v3 PATCH 10 without much conflict.
Thanks,
