You should not use "angle" style if you change the x,y position (this
is due to the algorithm of how the line connecting two points are
create).

Try something like below instead.

   if foo:
       if theta - foo < 10:
           print >>sys.stderr, "Overlapping, offsetting a little bit"
           y1 = y1 + 0.1
           if x1 > 0 :
               cstyle="arc,angleA=180,armA=30,armB=10,angleB=%f"%(-theta,)
           else:
               cstyle="arc,angleA=0,armA=30,armB=10,angleB=%f"%(theta,)

There is not much documentation of how each algorithm works (it is
beyond my english skill). They are loosely based on the latex pstrick
package and the screenshot in the following link may be useful to get
some idea though.
