Just adding the very smallest Fillet radius to the corners of the sweep line will fix it.

O.01 for example.

I think the sweep is not liking extreme corners. Without a file its hard to tell but it looks like you tried to sweep a circle around a square???

You could choose your square first and run fillet and give a very small radius like .125 or something, then the sweep will act as you expect.

Hi Duke - currently 1-rail sweep will not do the mitered corners that I think you're looking for there. It is something that I expect to be adding in later on in v2 though.

Check out here for an alternate approach for now:

Offset the centerline of your sweep to the inside (so there are 2 lines). Then use those 2 rails for the sweep to get mitered corners.

Yes this one has urk'd me in the past also!

But as already mentioned, a 2-rail sweep will get you what you originally expected.

I didn't know about the micro bevel getting this to work as well?!

The 2 rail option seems to be the best. The micro fillet forces the sweep to turn a corner, but it's not a clean result - it goes through itself.

Also not mitered as I think that was the intended result.
