I think it's a problem with the underlying assumptions of the political compass. MLs don't really believe in authority for authority's sake the way that conservatives do (at least I hope y'all don't), we believe that a disciplined party structure is necessary to enact the changes we want to see and that a state is needed to wage class war on the bourgeoisie.
Ancaps also don't really map properly onto the compass, because while they profess to believe in individual liberation the worldview they subscribe to and the policies they support are every bit as hierarchical as the most staunch religious conservative. The main difference is that the ancap religion is a capitalist free market, rather than an ancient text or church structure.
