I see it, and reproduce it.  It appears to be a bounding box problem -- the
PNG renderer only renders within each items BB, but the BB's seem to have
collapsed in the file.  I'm guessing you're running an older version that
doesn't do bezier BB's correctly.  Which version are you running?  If you
feel liking compiling Dia, the CVS version doesn't seem to suffer from
this.  If not, you could add an extra segment with the control point at the
top of the bend.

That's a pretty diagram, btw.
