It's a bug, but unfortunately one which isn't easy to fix- the Flash
player only knows even/odd, so in order to fix that bug, one would have
to convert polygons from circular/anticircular fill style to even/odd.

You can however use the new option "-s poly2bitmap", which will convert
the polygons to a (correctly filled) bitmap.
