I think I see why - the image_map is getting wrapped around that point as a
pole.
That's why you get that purple/white circle - it's the right edge of your image
map.

Could be.
No way to know without comparing it to spherical map_type.
In the meantime, put a (different) colored stripe along the left side of that
image_map and see if the color of the central dot changes.

If it's a persistent "repeat", then that's a problem.
I should already have a fix for that, if such is the case, but that will require
another dive into the depths of the source code.

y'all know how I love that.
