Description
I have created two polar stereographic basemaps that look like this, sharing a plt.subplots figure:
When zooming in, this happens:
I have confirmed that this happens only for the Basemap with round=True option.
MPL: 1.2.1
basemap: 1.0.6
Backend: Qt4Agg

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with two polar stereographic basemaps in a shared plt.subplots figure, using round=True and the reported MPL 1.2.1, Basemap 1.0.6, and Qt4Agg setup. Compare zoom behavior with and without round=True; done means zooming no longer distorts the round stereographic basemap.
