By enlarging the bounding box sufficiently, the problem is solved.
According to my calculations, it must be enlarged by at least 71%.
To simplify, I expanded it by an integer multiple of hatchdistance.

hatch not really straight
The hatches are not perfectly straight (like the default ones in the patterns library) but they remain unchanged by scaling as shown in the above result.
Straight hatch
To do this, I enlarged the line that traces the hatching of an integer multiple hatchdistance (noninteger multiples pose problems that I have not yet understood).

You do what one usually does: define the cell size a bit smaller than what the path actually covers. The problem is that if the width of the line exceeds 0.5pt, an overshoot by 1pt is no longer sufficient. So one may want to use a more generous overshoot. The following may be a bit "too generous" (but being
generous has no real sideeffects here AFAIK), and this one seems to work for many viewers and zoom levels, i.e. some of the things but not all in your code are also viewer issues.

The hatches are not perfectly straight (like the default ones in the patterns library) but they remain unchanged by scaling as shown in the above result.
Straight hatch
To do this, I enlarged the line that traces the hatching of an integer multiple hatchdistance (noninteger multiples pose problems that I have not yet understood).

You do what one usually does: define the cell size a bit smaller than what the path actually covers. The problem is that if the width of the line exceeds 0.5pt, an overshoot by 1pt is no longer sufficient. So one may want to use a more generous overshoot. The following may be a bit "too generous" (but being
generous has no real sideeffects here AFAIK), and this one seems to work for many viewers and zoom levels, i.e. some of the things but not all in your code are also viewer issues.

When I use your solution I get teeth, even bigger ones, on the other side?!

@Pygmalion Hmmh, strange. I slightly adjusted the parameters. Is it better now?
