Using the current development release (0.6-SVN) when I create a process using the waterline strategy it does not create a contour following waterline as I expected, but instead creates the same type of toolpath as the slice removal strategy.
By default, the "milling style" of the waterline process is set to "ignore". In this case, I got the same issue as you. However, when I set it to "conventional", I actually got the correct contour path. In addition, make sure that the "overlap" parameter is large (>80%) to get more accurate contours. Does this workaround work for you too?
