Description
This is due to the fact that calling pcolormesh with either of these projections needs to perform a shiftdata function. But shiftdata assumes that the longitudes correspond 1-to-1 with the data, not that they define bounding rectangles around the data...
Thus contourf chokes and breaks.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by calling pcolormesh with the _cylproj and _pseudocyl projections, then inspect the shiftdata path used before contourf. Done means pcolormesh handles longitude bounds that define data rectangles without contourf choking or breaking.
