Elevation graph for Crater Lake reaches sea level -- oops!

This route is a clockwise loop along Rim Drive around Crater Lake in southern Oregon. Somewhere between miles 3 and 5 the elevation graph momentarily reaches sea level. Looks like some kind of data problem. When I traced my own route around the lake starting at Park HQ, I saw the same thing happen in the same place. Any idea what's going on with that and if there's a way to avoid it? The zero-foot data point makes the elevation graph look deceptively flat.
