Yeah, that will happen when you generate an ellipse segment that is longer than a certain size.

It's somewhat traditional to break up circles / arcs / ellipses of more than 90 degrees into chunks like that, for semi-arcane reasons.

You'll also find with those ones (Rho < 0.5) will have a center point snap for them way off to the side where the center of the ellipse actually is.
