well apparently the atmospher is always circular no mater how oblate the planet is
i've seen this problem in the windows versions 1.2.4 and 1.2.5p7
this probly isn't a problem for most planets and is not very visible unless exajurated
here is a pic (from v1.2.5p7)
here is the section from the ssc file
