    <p>Jukka' suggestion is a good one. Using -tps solver or affine
      approximation -order 1 fixes the issue. The default behaviour with
      GCPs when there are 6 or more of them is to use the second order
      polynomial adjustment. The issue here is when computing output
      bounds. We actually compute two 2nd order polynomial adjustments:
      one from source image coordinates to georeferenced ones, and one
      from georeferenced ones to source image. The former one is used to
      compute the output bounds, but the second one is used to do
      warping. The issue with 2nd order polynomial is that those two
      transformers are generally not the inverse of each other... We
      should likely compute the source image coordinates ->
      georeferenced coordinates as an iterative inversion of the other
      one, so they are invertible. The first order polynomial / affine
      transformation hasn't that issue due to how affine transformation
      works. The TPS one isn't likely perfectly invertible but TPS
      transformation is  guaranteed to be exact at GCPs, so that
      diminishes the effect. But 2nd order polynomial has overshoots
      particularities that can cause the issue observed.</p>
    <p>Another workaround is to specify the desired output bounds with
      -te<br>
    </p>
    <p>Anyway, Hays, could you file an issue about that in
