Discovered this with the new graphics pipeline, but I suspect that it would occur with master as well:

The pipeline is extremely short (yay!):
var render = d3.geo.pipeline()
.source(d3.geo.jsonSource)
.pipe(d3.geo.rotate, 0, 2.85, 1.42)
.pipe(d3.geo.clipAntimeridian)
.sink(d3.geom.contextSink, context);
