Of course Cos[t] and 1/Sqrt[1+Tan[t]^2] do NOT have the same values over
their entire domains, e.g., for Pi/2 < t < 3 Pi/2. So one must be
careful if going from polar to cartesian coordinates in order to apply a
RegionPlot for filling a PolarPlot.
All of this begs the question as to why PolarPlot and ParametricPlot
don't have a Filling option!
