Yes, if i find something suspicious, i'll let you know.
In attachment is a comparable rendering results from Opera (gray) and
SVGMorph (black).
Looks like i was wrong about twisting - the glyph is so small that its
hard to say what is there, unless you zoom it in.

I think you can try to remove drawing parts/segments step by step from
original svg to see where it breaking. And then you can trace why.
