Yes, I'm working on a fix... and understanding the various
transformations of the equation to get a translation and adjusted
coefficients.

Not as obvious as it might seems. Previously I was asserting the
translation was in the wrong direction, but "not always". Seems there
is a few sign errors deep in some branches of code for that translation.

I have some testing scenes (rather kind of animation) with many
quadrics (nobody uses "coefficients translated quadrics", and that
what I need to use to trigger the bug). Once I'm happy with the
solution, I will post it (here and in flyspray)
