A possible solution to this problem, may be use another graphic output
(openmath). For instance:
(%i1) plot3d([cos(u)*cos(v),cos(u)*sin(v),sin(u)],[u,-%pi/2,%pi/2],[v,-%pi,%pi],[plot_format,openmath]);
yield a good sphere. In the circle case:
(%i2) plot2d ([parametric, cos(t), sin(t)], [t, -2*%pi,
%pi*2],[nticks,100],[plot_format,openmath]);
will yield a good circle.
Bye,
