Images in symbol features with placement other than "point" get scaled when moving the globe around the poles

[JakubJagoda]

maplibre-gl-js version: 5.0.0-pre.7
EDIT: I originally created this issue against version 5.0.0-pre.6, but then I noticed that 5.0.0-pre.7 was out, so checked against it as well and updated the description.

browser: Chrome 131.0.6778.85 (Official Build) (arm64) / Firefox 132.0b9 (aarch64)

Steps to Trigger Behavior

1. Create map with globe projection
2. Add a symbol layer rendering an image with symbol-placement set to value other than "point"
3. Move the globe so that one of the poles is in the center

Expected Behavior

The rendered image should visually retain its size

Actual Behavior

The image gets scaled up way too much

Some more info

It seems that this was also enlarging texts, but has been fixed somewhere between 5.0.0-pre.1 and 5.0.0-pre.6 (if you change the version to 5.0.0-pre.1 in the pen and repeat the steps, you'll see that the text was also scaled. This doesn't happen on 5.0.0-pre.6). This + the fact that it doesn't happen in Mapbox (example for reference: https://codepen.io/kuba-jagoda-asi/pen/JjgQBJE?editors=1010) makes be believe that it's not intended, but rather a bug.
Changing layer's symbol-placement to point prevents this from happening. So does changing icon-pitch-alignment to "viewport". But both render the layer in a bit different way (the image is not "sticked" to the globe anymore, but rather faces the camera).
Here's some images to quickly show what I'm talking about:

Maplibre 5.0.0-pre.6 (notice the large gray trapezoid):

Mapbox (the image remained non-scaled):

Maplibre 5.0.0-pre.1 (where text also got scaled - but this was fixed):

I'm guessing you are referring to this issue, right?

• Globe text scales with pitch #4786

Which was fixed by the following PR as part of pre.5

• Fix globe pitch-aligned line-placed texts #4925

@HarelM yeah, I guess that was the issue for text. But just to be sure we're on the same page - this issue is about image. I only mentioned the text, because seeing it suffered similar problem and being fixed at some point, confirms to me that what I'm seeing with image is indeed a bug.

[HarelM]

Sure, sure, I'm expecting a similar solution, that's why I mentioned it.
