Same RRD.

The widest set of points I plot is 365 1-day points.

A one-day graph in your case would need a width of 86400 pixels, and that 
sounds pretty big. So maybe rrdgraph 'fudges' when the specified graph 
width is smaller than the number of plotted points. And then it just skips 
'fudging' the VRULE onto the graph. (?)
