Question

Outline Stroke creates strange artifacts

 

running Outline Stroke on path creates holes in resulting filled path. What's infuriating, hole apperaring or not depends on objects position, ie move same path few inches to right and behaviour stops.

Whats at play and how one can avoid this?

I have checked out your file.

The path is not designed by the Bézier rules (like e.g. handles should be about a third of the length of the path segment).

If you add points, you get a better result, but it won't be perfect.
