Comment (by annakrat):

 I fixed the rendering issue in r71163 and r71164. But the area computation
 problem must be somewhere in
 [https://grass.osgeo.org/programming7/area__poly1_8c.html#af6f1f53bacc34249be98006c95369695
 G_ellipsoid_polygon_area], probably related to very small numbers, but I
 couldn't pinpoint the problem. There is something specific about this
 polygon, when I draw a similar one, it gives more reasonable results.
