I'm working with the "corner finding" portion of the include. added the 
following:

#if(OTO_Get_Mask(Vec)=1 )
      #local Pt1 = Vec + y*(OTO_Get_Offset(Vec).y) + 
x*(OTO_Get_Offset(Vec+y).x);
      #local Pt2 = Vec + y*(OTO_Get_Offset(Vec+x+y).y) + 
x*(OTO_Get_Offset(Vec-y+x+y).x) +x+y;
     #else
      #local Pt1 = Vec + x*(OTO_Get_Offset(Vec)/*.x*/) + 
(y*OTO_Get_Offset(Vec+x)/*.y*/);
      #debug concat ("\nResults: <", vstr(3, Pt1,",",5,6),">\n")
      #local Pt2 = Vec + x*(OTO_Get_Offset(Vec+x+y).x) + 
y*(OTO_Get_Offset(Vec-x+x+y).y) +x+y;
     #end

debug echos a 3-way vector ... so what's wrong with the expectation of 
getting the dot product using the notation given. the while loop that 
encloses the above conditional eventually sends it through both branches 
and begins to render after commenting  out all the offending notation. 
quick visual inspection doesn't reveal any problems with the odd tiles
