It happens that basegfx::GetLineArrow(...) (also defined within 
msdffimp.cxx, line 1102) does not create a valid polygon when eLineEnd 
has the value mso_lineNoEnd...
In the switch(eLineEnd), this goes to

without creating any polygon, letting the return value undefined.

So I propose to skip the creation these incorrect polygons if eLineEnd 
has the value mso_lineNoEnd. But since I do not understand well the 
import / translation from msformat, I may also have missed a big point. 
Hence thanks for reviewing this patch, before I push it.

I hope it helps.
