The troublesome polygon is this one:

It has a size of 16x16, but polygon bitmaps must be 32x32.

Although documented (at http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/doc/typ-compiler),
this restriction is not checked by the code, sorry about that.

I've attached a patch to check this.  There are other possible
checks so this may be expanded before committing.
