I am puzzled because I got the white triangle you mention for a while
yesterday (while I was toying with the new Arrow function). At some
point of my experiment, the white triangle vanished, and finally I got
the desired result with the normal vector and posted the code and
uploaded the picture on my web site.

Now, using the same notebook as yesterday but with a fresh kernel, I
get the white triangle again! I have no idea about what is going on.

For whom who might be interested, I have uploaded the notebook, a copy
of it as a pdf file and the picture on my web site.

This point is expected indeed: it is drawn by the function po.
