Comment(by nicklas):

 I think you have a typo in r8107.
 pa->npoints is 1-based, not 0-based, right?

 Then shouldn't it be instead?:


 {{{
 if ( t >= pa->npoints &&
   ( proj.x == end.x) && (proj.y == end.y) )
 }}}

 That would explain it since the answer from st_closestpoint is the same as
 the second last vertex, not the last.
