I think there is something going on in your code, OMGraphics will
render themselves partially on a map. OMGraphics depend on Java to
do the clipping, and the projection libraries don't really care about
the pixel extents of the Map.

The projection class would handle negative pixel coordinates and
translate them into lat/lon space.

If you want to send me your layer code, I'll take a look at it to see
if something jumps out at me.
