Error rendering 3d scene

I'm working in the SageMath Cloud. The code block

x,y,t = var('x,y,t')
f = lambda x,y: x*abs(y)/sqrt(x^2+y^2) if (x,y)<>(0,0) else 0
a,b = 1,6
e = 0.1
parametric_plot3d( [b*t, -a*t, f(b*t,-a*t)], [t,-e,e], color="yellow", size=15 )

produces an error message:

error rendering 3d scene -- error downloading /blobs/682b952d-d577-45ce-98ff-4e7a06ddad32.sage3d?uuid=682b952d-d577-45ce-98ff-4e7a06ddad32

But if I change the fourth line to e = 1, then it works just fine.

A similar error was reported in http://ask.sagemath.org/question/2730..., but the fix there was easier.

Update: Having read http://ask.sagemath.org/question/2632..., I tried e = 1/10 and got the same error. Of course

parametric_plot3d( [b*t/e, -a*t/e, f(b*t/e,-a*t/e)], [t,-1,1], color="yellow", size=15 )

will do what I want, but there still seems to be an underlying problem with parametric_plot3d.

I've tried my local sage installation and the sagecell and the code seems to work. I think this is an issue specific to the cloud. The threshold seems to be e=0.2.
