Don,
You are 100% correct... there was something going on in *my* code.
I started with location layer as basis for our app, since it most
closeley fit our needs. However, was also had requirements to draw a
few rectangles on the map.
During prepare(), the layer calls the layerHandlers to obtain a list of
all graphics which should be rendered/painted. For rectangles, the
layerHandler was checking only one point of the rectangle (the n/w
point), and not all points of the rectangle (as it should). Which
resulted in this incorrect behavior: if north lat or east lon are
visible, place rectangle on graphics list, else disregard it. The result
was that rectangle would not be drawn, even when south lat or east lon
should have been visible.
I modified the code in our LocationLayer "get()" function to check for
special cases of rectangles, and for rectangles to check all 4 corners.
Problem was resolved.
Chalk it up to "headspace error" on my part.

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.
