[Xy-pic] bug?

Dear xy-pic-ers,
I've found what appears to be a bug in the way xy-pic handles
intersections of lines. That said, I have pretty limited experience with
xy-pic, so the bug could easily be in me.
I want to typeset a three-dimensional commutative diagram and have some
lines appear to pass under others. The problem is that sometimes xy-pic
draws only one of the two pieces of the lower line, which should be
broken. I had this problem once before and was able to work around it by
changing things that I though should have no effect on the output.
Unfortunately, I didn't save that example.
The misbehaving (LaTeX) code is below (in simplified form). The arrow
from J to K is the offending one.
Best,
Jim Borger
