Xah,
I don't know where it comes from, but if you add one more set of curly braces
to the Prolog option setting to isolate it from the other graphics directives
it will go away. Apparently, Mma joins the Prolog and Epilog settings to
the beginning and end of the main list of primitives, and then maps the
PlotStyle directives over everything. Why this affects only the point at the
end of the line segment, and not the entire line, I haven't a clue.
Patched version of code above:
Plot[ { Sin@x }, {x,0, 6},
AspectRatio->Automatic,
PlotRange->All,
PlotStyle->{{Hue[0],Thickness[.09]}},
Prolog->{ {Thickness[.04],Line[{{-1,0.5},{4,.5}}]} }
]
