Alan and Andrew,

The difference in the latitude lines in example 19 has been there as
long as pltransform and the Baltimore example 19 page have been
included.  The difference in dash positions occurs because plmeridians
uses different rendering paths depending on whether it is given a
coordinate transform function or not.

If plmeridians receives a coordinate transformation function as it's
first argument (C API) they it manually segments the latitude and
longitude lines by repeatedly calling plline.  If no coordinate
transformation function is passed to plmeridians then it calls plpath
to draw the latitude and longitude lines.  plpath only calls plline
once.  I expect that this is where the difference in dash positions
comes from.
