Took me a while to get it, but the problem is the definition of p0:
p[0] := cs .. cl .. (cs rotated 120) .. (cl rotated 120) .. (cs rotated 240) ..
(cl rotated 240) .. cycle;
Here are cs and cl after your earlier definition:
cs := (141.73224999999996,-49.097491614210789)
..(75.312386775380347,111.25424516116959)
..(28.347427842053655,147.2925755432174);
cl := (28.346108531095332,147.29283827977969)
..(0,154.88788322842163)
..(-28.346108531095332,147.29283827977969);
Note how the last point of cs and the first point of cl are nearly the same.
When you combine these bits into p0, p0 becomes a cyclic path with 18 points
(where you really want/need only 12 points).
The micro-segments between these nearly-identical paths are the problem. At
smaller u values the differences between the points become zero, and the
directionpoint of a path of length zero is mathematically undefined.
I do not know a quick generic solution off hand, but that is what the issue is.
Best wishes,
Taco
