Description
I've have a complicated layer created from all UK footpaths, inland waters, road, etc. Tippecanoe works fine for zoom levels 4-6 and 8-15, but at 7 and 8 it does something extremely weird - see image. (Apologies if this is something obviously I'm missing).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with the complicated UK footpaths, inland waters, and roads layer, comparing output at zoom levels 7 and 8 with the working levels. The issue names no source file, entry point, or test, so locate the zoom-level processing path before investigating. Done means the anomalous output is explained and corrected, with coverage for the affected zoom levels.
