This is a known problem and the only solution/workaround is to display the data
in it's native projection. See:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/Bugs.html#dataprojection
The problem occurs when the IDV attempts to account for the projection seam.
The contour lines are drawn in the native coordinates, but reprojected onto the
display projection. In that case, we need to "cut" lines appropriately and the
logic for doing that is not handling things in all cases. We'll look into this
to see if we can make it better, but again, the only real "solution" for now is
to display it in the native projection. I understand that is not optimal.
Also, for this issue, Fast Rendering would tend to make things worse I would
think because it doesn't try to account for the projection seams.
Have a happy New Year.
