Rendering error for polyline segment along y-axis

[javagl]

The following sandcastle tries to create three polylines (single segments):

const viewer = new Cesium.Viewer("cesiumContainer");

function addLine(positions) {
  const geometry = new Cesium.PolylineGeometry({
    positions: positions,
    width: 10.0,
    vertexFormat: Cesium.PolylineMaterialAppearance.VERTEX_FORMAT,
    arcType: Cesium.ArcType.NONE,
  });
  const geometryInstance = new Cesium.GeometryInstance({
    geometry: geometry,
    attributes: {
      color: Cesium.ColorGeometryInstanceAttribute.fromColor(Cesium.Color.RED),
    },
  });
  const primitive = new Cesium.Primitive({
    asynchronous: false,
    geometryInstances: geometryInstance,
    appearance: new Cesium.PolylineColorAppearance({
      translucent: false,
    }),
  });
  viewer.scene.primitives.add(primitive);
}

const positionsX = [
  new Cesium.Cartesian3(0, 0, 0.0),
  new Cesium.Cartesian3(10000000, 0, 0),
];
const positionsYa = [
  new Cesium.Cartesian3(0, 0, 0.1),
  new Cesium.Cartesian3(0, 10000000, 0),
];
const positionsYb = [
  new Cesium.Cartesian3(0, 0, 0.0),
  new Cesium.Cartesian3(0, 10000000, 0),
];
addLine(positionsX); // Works
addLine(positionsYa); // Works
addLine(positionsYb); // Crashes

For the last case - a line that starts at the origin and goes along the y-axis - it results in a DeveloperError: Could not project point (0, 0, 0) to 2D.. This seems to be a very special case, but as such, should probably be handled.
