The problem appears to be that if the VertexColors option is used anywhere
in the graphics, as both ContourPlot and DensityPlot do, then bezier curves
are not drawn. For a simple example, without any VertexColors both the Line
and the BezierCurve is drawn:
Graphics[{Thick, BezierCurve[{{-.3, -1}, {.2, -.5}, {-.8, .5}, {-.3, 1}}],
Line[{{0, -1}, {0, 1}}],
Polygon[{{2, -2}, {6, -2}, {4, Sqrt[3]}}/4, VertexColors -> {}]}]

With some VertexColors only the Line drawn:

Graphics[{Thick, BezierCurve[{{-.3, -1}, {.2, -.5}, {-.8, .5}, {-.3, 1}}],
Line[{{0, -1}, {0, 1}}],
Polygon[{{2, -2}, {6, -2}, {4, Sqrt[3]}}/4,
VertexColors -> {Red, Green, Blue}]}]

Hope this helps...
