My personal preference is that, for cases where the output is
demonstrably "wrong", we should fix it.  In this particular case,
we're producing incorrect gerbers (although only *slightly* incorrect,
but if you're pushing the limits, that might be enough) and if
correcting our mistake causes warnings for others, those are warnings
they should have been getting all along anyway ;-)

One could argue that by approximating curves with lines we're "wrong"
anyway, but then again, since the user has no control over how we do
that, a minor tweak in how we do that should still be within our
domain.
