Marker Won't Display When Y Axis in Descending Order

Question

I'm using an RTF to create charts.  I'm using bi-publisher desktop version 11.1.1 and have Office 10 loaded.
If I add markerDisplayed="true" to my line chart, the markers display on the line and in the legend.  But, when I add
<Y1Axis axisMinAutoScaled="false" axisMinValue="1" majorTickStepAutomatic="false" majorTickStep="2" ascending="false" />
the markers disappear from the lines but stay in the legend.
For instance, this works (displays markers on lines and legend):
<Graph markerDisplayed="true" depthAngle="50" depthRadius="8" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS"><LegendArea visible="true" /><LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2,  'PERIOD'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2,  'BRAND'))}"><RowLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/BRAND" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></RowLabels><ColLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="PERIOD" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/PERIOD" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></ColLabels><DataValues><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:variable name="G1" select="current-group()" /><RowData><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./PERIOD"><Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum($G1[(./PERIOD=current()/PERIOD)]/RANKING[.!=''])" /></Cell></xsl:for-each-group></RowData></xsl:for-each-group></DataValues></LocalGridData></Graph>
Add the code to sort the Y axis in descending order and start at 1, not o, and the markers disappear from the lines but still show up in the legend:
<Graph markerDisplayed="true" depthAngle="50" depthRadius="8" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS"><LegendArea visible="true" /><Y1Axis axisMinAutoScaled="false" axisMinValue="1" majorTickStepAutomatic="false" majorTickStep="2" ascending="false" /><LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2,  'PERIOD'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2,  'BRAND'))}"><RowLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/BRAND" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></RowLabels><ColLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="PERIOD" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/PERIOD" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></ColLabels><DataValues><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:variable name="G1" select="current-group()" /><RowData><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./PERIOD"><Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum($G1[(./PERIOD=current()/PERIOD)]/RANKING[.!=''])" /></Cell></xsl:for-each-group></RowData></xsl:for-each-group></DataValues></LocalGridData></Graph>
I'm new to bi-pub so please excuse anything that might seem obviously right or wrong to you !

the kext may have gone funky on the Mac. see:
iPod Updater reports iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod must be connected using FireWire
iTunes: No Photos or Videos tab in the iPod preferences pane in Mac OS X
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X
