bing maps upgrading from v7 to v8 error with userMapView

Question

I'm upgrading a project from using the bing maps v7 ajax api to using the v8 api. I've run into a problem where I'm getting back a message saying that "The waypoint you entered cannot be found." So I backed up and modified a sample screen to do what I'm doing and it works fine. So I've narrowed it down (with fiddler) to the REST calls that are made for each waypoint getting an error saying the userMapView is out of range in the first case but works fine in the second. I'm not really sure why this might be different in the sample code versus my actual app. Here are the two URLs. The first is the one that fails:

https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/?q=Cincinnati%2C%20OH&o=json&culture=en-US&jsonp=Microsoft.Maps.NetworkCallbacks.f5de44&key=MY_BING_MAPS_KEY&maxResults=5&userMapView=39.18820190429691,-180,39.18820190429691,-180&inclnb=0&incl=

https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/?q=cincinnati%2C%20oh&o=json&culture=en-US&jsonp=Microsoft.Maps.NetworkCallbacks.f66617&key=MY_BING_MAPS_KEY&maxResults=5&userMapView=39.02836016935031,-85.12275695800781,39.34768093312603,-85.12275695800781&inclnb=0&incl=

If I replace the userMapView parameter of the first URL with those of the second, the first URL works too. It seems obvious that the "-180" degree part is incorrect, but I don't know how it is getting there.

BTW, both of these URLs were generated using my dev key.

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: Here's the bulk of the code that runs into trouble. Prior to this I've new'd the Map. This code is the callback from the loadModule of the Directions module. The code is a little convoluted beyond that though as I'm plugging in origins and destinations from the form. Also note, not that it makes much difference, that userAddress is passed into this function as true.

function createDrivingRoute(useAddress) {
    directionsManager = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.DirectionsManager(bmap);
    locs = [];
    var fromWayPoint;
    fromWayPoint = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: fromAddressSearch });
    locs.push(fromWayPoint);
    directionsManager.addWaypoint(fromWayPoint);
    if (toLocationArray != null) {
        if (toLocationArray.length == 1) {
            if (toLocationArray[0] == false) {
                toLocationArray = [];
            }

        }
    }

    if (useAddress) {
        if (toLocationArray != null) {
            for (i = 0; i < toLocationArray.length; i++) {
                //var toWayPointLoc = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ location: toLocationArray[i] });
                var toWayPointLoc = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: toLocationArray[i] });
                locs.push(toWayPointLoc);
                directionsManager.addWaypoint(toWayPointLoc);
            }
            for (i = 0; i < toAddressArray.length; i++) {
                var toWayPoint = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: toAddressArray[i] });
                locs.push(toWayPoint);
                directionsManager.addWaypoint(toWayPoint);
            }
        } else {
            for (i = 0; i < toAddressArray.length; i++) {
                var toWayPoint = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: toAddressArray[i] });
                locs.push(toWayPoint);
                directionsManager.addWaypoint(toWayPoint);
            }
       }
    } else {
            if (toLocationArray != null) {
                for (i = 0; i < toLocationArray.length; i++) {
                    //var toWayPointLoc = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ location: toLocationArray[i] });
                    var toWayPointLoc = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: toLocationArray[i] });
                    locs.push(toWayPointLoc);
                    directionsManager.addWaypoint(toWayPointLoc);
                }
            }
            for (i = 0; i < toAddressArray.length; i++) {
                var toWayPoint = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: toAddressArray[i] });
                locs.push(toWayPoint);
                directionsManager.addWaypoint(toWayPoint);
            }
        }


    if ($get("<%= chkReturnOrigin.ClientID %>").checked) {
        var returnWayPoint = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: fromAddressSearch });
        directionsManager.addWaypoint(fromWayPoint);
    }


    // Set the element in which the itinerary will be rendered
    directionsManager.setRenderOptions({ itineraryContainer: '#directions' });

    // Specify a handler for when the directions are calculated
    if (directionsUpdatedEventObj) {
        Microsoft.Maps.Events.removeHandler(directionsUpdatedEventObj);
        directionsUpdatedEventObj = null;
    }
    directionsUpdatedEventObj = Microsoft.Maps.Events.addHandler(directionsManager, 'directionsUpdated', onDirectionsDisplayedEvent);

    if (directionsErrorEventObj) {
        Microsoft.Maps.Events.removeHandler(directionsErrorEventObj);
        directionsErrorEventObj = null;
    }
    directionsErrorEventObj = Microsoft.Maps.Events.addHandler(directionsManager, 'directionsError', onDirectionsErrorEvent);

    loadedRoute = null;
    loadedSteps = [];
    directionsManager.calculateDirections();
    var destAddress = $get("<%= DestAddressList.ClientID %>").value;
    if (destAddress == null || destAddress == "") {
        document.getElementById("DistTotal").innerHTML = '';
    }
}
