I'm wondering whether we're seeing an inside test problem caused by y 
coordinates matching a horizontal line (or maybe even just an on-curve 
control point).

The old TrueType implementation was apparently prone to such issues, and 
added a tiny "random" rotation to try and avoid them. I had hoped the 
prism primitive would be more robust in this respect, but maybe that is 
not the case.
