Still at it, eh?

And no, that the Path is open is not the problem, if you close it the issue persists.

This is basic Path behaviour in Photoshop.

I think Illustrator treats Path-self-overlaps differently, so you could try there and place the object as a Smart Object in Photoshop if necessary.

If you force a »Merge Path Components« Photoshop will create pathPoints at the intersection and you can delete the points that form the overlap.

Why do you use »Fill Path« anyway and don’t create a Shape Layer?

No reason not to use Vector Masks in my opinion; one can always Clipping Mask additional Layers to the Shape Layer or use the Vector Mask on a Group instead of a Solid Colour Layer.

Here are screenshots to illustrate one possible approach (»Merge Path Components«, delete PathPoints etc.):

Illustrator does treat such a path differently; I was able to quickly create such a shape almost like CreativeBee's* simply by stating what fill color and stroke color with the Pen Tool without closing the path:

*OK, stop laughing back there. I didn't say it was exactly like it.

This is why I love Illustrator for this kind of thing.
