Can either you or the OP provide a screenshot? It's not entirely clear
to me what's happening. It sounds like some of the behaviour of this
bug would be explained by the mask not being rotated with the image,
but other bits of the description don't seem to match that.

The other bug with the single pixel white line sounds more like an
off-by-one in SVG production, but you'd see that in every image, so
it's probably not that.
