Thanks for spotting this one.

Looks like the b'box computation for quadrics (sorry, not quartics; got
that wrong in the previous post) fails to respect the `inverse` keyword
for /some/ reason.

Bounding boxes have that effect. Essentially your shape gets clipped in
"image space" by the outline of the b'box, which changes shape as the
b'box is viewed from different angles: Head-on it's a rectangle, while
at other angles it changes into an irregular hexagon.
