A semicircle shape gets exported as a circle in SVG
When I create a shape that is between a circle and a square, it is rendered as a circle in an SVG export, while a PNG export (via save for web) makes a good shape.

I'm having the same issue.
A temporary workaround is to select any anchor point on the path and cut the shape at this point. This way, a shape turns into a path, and Illustrator is not longer able to save it as a circle.
This is suboptimal because you need to remember to do this cut when you do the export to SVG, which is a huge downside when you routinely deal with dozens of SVG images.

Increasing 'Decimals' value does not help to get a proper result
