I have suspected this for some time, and finally have proof.

I am printing 4 copies of a simple clamp. Each clamp consists of a single polygon.

On some occasions, whilst printing infill, the head moves across space which is outside the part without retracting. All moves which cross a perimeter should retract before the move, even when moving between different areas of infill.

Some pictures of the parts here https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/JbrL2sgklzU5JwkKJqHFAtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink and https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/eZX-RjWzIl_F7N9ItlOdsdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink

And some Gcode to look at http://pastebin.com/yBsnuhi6
