Research direction

Reproduce the failure with TestFontAlternateGlyphs.glyphspackage.zip and trace glyphsLib.filters.cornerComponents alongside ufo2ft's CornerComponentsFilter. Investigate how left and right anchors are handled for corner components, then verify that the supplied Glyphs package compiles without the reported unsupported-anchor and unhandled-open-contour errors.
