Conor,

I would encourage you to file a ticket with the GDAL project with this issue,
and attach the image describing the problem to that ticket.

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal

(Note: you will need to create an OSGeo userid to file a ticket f you don't
already have one - instructions at above link)

There are a variety of challenges to doing world wide image reprojection so
it may be that you are running into known issues, and I can provide advice
on how to minimize the effect.  Or it may be something more specific that
needs to be fixed.

Best regards,
