Before your changes it went wrong consistently and (I think) in a
reproducible way.  
I don't understand why it still went wrong the first time after I pulled
your changes; it was as if Rails was still running without these changes.

Anyway, what happened in the past was, that when I reversed the zooming
direction (from in to out or vice versa), the map did not change scale once
(or maybe twice).
Something like:
1. Zoom in: all OK.
2. Zoom in: still OK.
3. Zoom out: tiles zoom out, map unchanged.
4 (or 5). Zoom out: both zoom out, but remain out of sync.

That misbehaviour seems to have been fixed now.

On your other remarks on SVG: obviously, the current code is a klu(d)ge.  I
can't really comment on the best way to approach it, as I have no experience
with real SVG programming, and very little with graphics programming in
general. I'm leaving that to Adam and you (and Brett, if he feels up to it).
