My personal preference is that, for cases where the output is demonstrably "wrong", we should fix it. In this particular case, we're producing incorrect gerbers (although only *slightly* incorrect, but if you're pushing the limits, that might be enough) and if correcting our mistake causes warnings for others, those are warnings they should have been getting all along anyway ;-) One could argue that by approximating curves with lines we're "wrong" anyway, but then again, since the user has no control over how we do that, a minor tweak in how we do that should still be within our domain.
