Brad:

Let me see if I understood your question right. 
It seems like what you want is to compute the midpoint in the
arc, draw the tangent to the arc in that point, and build the
rest of the bounding box by drawing lines perpendicular and
parallel to the tangent that pass through the extremes of the arc.

Am I right? If so, I'll be happy to derive the formula for you.
