Regarding:
job000208
with orthographic camera objects disappear when "angle" keyword is used

Analysis:
It turns out this never was a bug. 'angle' works exactly as advertised in
the manual.  The problem is the user specified the camera type after the
angle, which assumed it was applied to a perspective camera and consequently
changed the direction vector length, which makes it look like the object
disappears.

Solution in next beta:
Now, with version 3.5 specified the camera type has to be the first thing in
a camera statement. The default type (which obviously does not need to be
specified) is still perspective, of course.
