Revit Floor Pattern Bug

I experienced a bug recently related to floor patterns in Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010.  Here is the issue and solution that worked.

Our project uses several faceted floors to make up a sloping sidewalk.  I was able to align the sidewalk grid on all facets except a few random ones.  No command (move, rotate, align) would do anything to adjust the pattern on these particular facets.  The solution is related to the fact that split lines were adjacent to these facets.  Upon deleting the split lines, the floor pattern aligned successfully to the grid.  See images below.

Grids not aligned:



Split line adjacent to the floor pattern that will not move:



When deleted, the geometry on this floor remains the same, but an additional diagonal facet appears:



After this modification, the pattern is able to align to the rest of the sidewalk:
