The irregular shape of Gilly and how the map treats reference bodies as spherical is the probable cause of this. the conic is always present, but not usually seen below the surface. Negative altitudes are not possible.

I have marked this issue as feedback, and referenced it to other issues around Gilly that may have the same origin - Gilly being small and irregular leading to graphical, and misleading information as the cause of lost vessels.
