I think the problem is in the invalid range of fit:
float x[20],y[20];
for(int i=0; i<20; i++) {x[i]=gRandom->Rndm(1); y[i]=0.5*x[i]*x[i]+0.2;};
c1 = new TCanvas("c1","Fit");
TGraph *tg = new TGraph(20,x,y);
TF1 *f1 = new TF1("f1","pol2");
tg->Draw("AP");
tg->Fit("f1","","AP"); // Fit range 0.1 - 0.2 !
f1->SetRange(0.2,1.0);
tg->Fit("f1","R","AP"); // All is OK
f1->SetRange(0.0,1.0);
tg->Fit("f1","R","AP"); // All is OK
Now, you can see that TGraph::Fit set invalid default fit range in case of
unsorted x,y data.
