missing longitude labels on polar plot

I'm using gsn_csm_contour_map_polar to contour some data
over the Antarctic and I only get 5 of the expected 12
longitude labels. Namely, with 0 degrees at the top,
I only see those in the lower half of the plot, i.e.,
180 deg and two more to either side (@30 deg intervals).
I'm also getting the following set of error messages,
once for each missing label:
fatal:NhlCvtStringToEnum: Unable to convert string "missing"
 to requested type
warning:Error retrieving resource amJust from args - Ignoring Arg
fatal:NhlCvtStringToEnum: Unable to convert string "missing" to
 requested type
warning:Error retrieving resource amSide from args - Ignoring Arg

Thus this appears to be something to do with amJust and amSide.
I tried setting amTrackData (somewhat blindly) but get another
error message (warning:amTrackData is not a valid resource in
ezplot1p_map at this time). Rather than continuing to thrash
(I'm very new to ncl), I'm hoping someone else has seen this
or otherwise knows how to fix it.

We are using ncl 4.2.0.a024.

The complete script is below.

thanks,
