Wrong path representation of circles, becomes apparent when duplicating/cloning or reopening

Steps to produce minimal file:

  • Open Inkscape
  • Create an ellipse/circle (not an arc/chord/etc.)
  • Set a stroke to something thick and set linecap to square (Fill and Stroke > Stroke Style)
  • Artefact may be visible (see below), definitely visible on reopen.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open specified Inkscape file.
  • Change to outline mode (Ctrl+5)
  • Select a circle of the template shapes.
  • Assign it a stroke. -- (Or select a circle with stroke)
  • Duplicate it (Ctrl+D)

What happened?

A little rectangle corrupts the stroke/shape in the circle close node.

What should have happened?

Just duplicate it without any modification.

Notes

  • I can solve it selecting all the duplicates affected with the Select and transform objects tool. Next select Create circles, ellipses and arcs tool and finally add a number to any of start/end entries so click on Make the shape a whole ellipse, not arc or segment.
  • This does not occurs with new ellipses (into or out the file). Just with the ellipses in the file attached.
  • Stroke to path does not solve the situation, but Object to path shows that the nodes are separated.

I would add that when "solving" as I mentioned above, this does not occurs.

Inkscape Version and Operating System:
