Aha.  That's a challenging one.

Shot in the dark:  Have you tried just using the Lasso tool - which
will also play connect the dots - to make selections, then convert
the selection to a path?  If that works it might point to other
options in the "area selection" arena that could be useful.

I might play with that later just for the heck of it...
