Description
I recently jumped back into an older ticket https://github.com/microsoft/maker.js/issues/336.
Some imported SVG paths behave very odd. While trying to figure out why it behaves like this, I took your dognone example from here: https://maker.js.org/docs/working-with-chains/#Chain%20dogbone and rotated the second rect by 15 degrees.

The left chain is perfect. But not the one on the right. ;-) Any idea, why that happens?

Research direction
Start with the older issue #336 and the dogbone example in the Working with Chains documentation, then reproduce the rotated-rectangle case in the linked Maker.js playground script. Compare the left and right chains and trace the behavior involved in imported SVG paths. Done means the rotated chain behaves correctly or the issue has a documented explanation and regression coverage.
