Don, Thanks. We'll go ahead and use the orthographic projection in our application (WRF Portal) then, and assume (and hope!) that it will be fixed in a future release.

We will try to fix it in a future release, so I think you can have the hooks in there when our algorithm for figuring out the bounding box works.
