Right. It was known that placing an orthographic camera too close can cause 
vanishing or incorrectly rendered objects.

I checked this in the current beta of v3.7 and found it is okay, with an 
exception. That being, the camera at -0.1*z is at the surfaces of the two 
crossing cylinders and it renders with a missing strip along the centers of 
them. If moving it inward to -0.09*z or outward to -0.11 it renders 
correctly, even with the added diagonal pigmentless cylinder.
