Even if I fatten them up, you don't seem to have completed an outline
in that area.

I don't think making a few-unit wide clear is going to work very well.
The LinePoly code is going to make a polygon with several degenerate
segments.

You can just make a 'normal' width line of at least a few mil and set
the clearance to 0 to get the effect you want.
