I can reproduce the problem in that manner.

However, snap-to-grid doesn't matter for me.  I just tested it without snap
turned on.

The arc doesn't need to go between two adjacent grid points, I just picked
two arbitrary separated points.

If the arc is vertical, it appears to happen crisply based on which 'side'
it is on.  However, if the arc end points are at arbitrary points, the arc
vanishing seems to be a bit more complex.  However, it is very easy for me
to reproduce.  You'll know it when you see it.

It appears to be somewhat related to one or the other of the endpoints going
vertical, but not absolutely so.
