I later discovered the bug was not related to the SHIFT-move handle code 
but it is a bug in the rendering of arc. If you make an arc  with a 
small arc_distance (around .1) and close endpoints (distance around 1), 
the complement of the arc is drawn (full circle - real arc) instead of 
the arc itself. I am not used to the rendering code so I cannot yet help 
to fix it. This bug is present in at least 0.94 and CVS HEAD. I just 
submitted it to bugzilla (Bug 312641).

Best,
