I don't believe it is an operating system issue but a glitch with the program. I copied the file across to a back-up server and re-ran and the file worked. Based on the ticket MC-2545 it appears to have been causing quite a few end users / customer issues since release 1.4.4 and states fixed in 1.8.1 which is the version I am currently using with windows 8.1 (not in compatibility mode as per ticket MC-2545). Does ticket MC-2545 need to be re-opened?

Can I expect more of these gigantic holes to appear on my map?

Agreed - still an issue in 1.8.1 - see
MC-75375. This issue should be re-opened as it certainly is not resolved
