    12 I've already written in the ticket description that I do not intend to use curvatureDistance() as a general replacement, but for high zoom situations only (in which case LatLon.getCenter() /is/ guaranteed to deliver a point on the shortest path, at least for tmerc projections (if the prime meridian is not greenwich, we're just talking about an offset fix)).
