Why are there extra lines in Jose'?

Can anyone tell me why there are extra lines in some of the Moho characters? In particular I'm interested in Jose' (sorry I don't know how to add the accent).

I've attached some pictures. I'm interested in the lines that have the endpoints in red.

I understand why the points are there, but not the line between them. The shapes are so simple, that I can't imagine that there's any problem with the fill tool. My current guess is that they might have been drawn in another program and imported and maybe that tool automatically subdivides regions.

I'm mainly asking, because I'm wondering if there is some trick or help from the line that I'm missing (ie is there some animation or construction action that is easier to do if you have the line there?)

Thanks for any help!

There are actually two shapes there. That line is the division between them and the stroke of that portion is hidden.
I like to do that avoid overlapping issues.

Thanks Victor. I didn't realize that could happen, so I played around a bit and see the issue. That was helpful information so I made a little video. Thanks for the input.
