If I'm reading the upstream bugs correctly, a new version of rickshaw is all that's needed.

This is especially confusing when zero-filling time series at the beginning up the the timestamp of the first displayed time series. It suggests false existence of data, which only becomes apparent if calculations over this non-existent data fail.

Since this doesn't seem to be resolving itself, my workaround is to manually rebuild the series data client-side.

For this, you have to know the start, end and step for the query.

function buildSeriesData(data, from, to, step){
  let seriesData = [];
  for (let i = from; i < to; i += step) {
    let y = data.find((d)=> d[0] == i)
    seriesData.push([i, y && y[1] || null])
  }
  return seriesData;
}

That returns an array of the appropriate size, with the gaps filled as [<timestamp>, null]
