So much for my deductive reasoning - A kind soul has furnished proof
by email that the real part of the voltage reflection can be greater
than 1.0.

Z_0 = 50 - 25j (which is well within the - 45 to 45 degree angle bounds)
Z_L = 50 + 250j (chosen to make the arithmetic easy; there are lots more)

Then Z_L - Z_0 = 275j and Z_L + Z_0 = 100 + 225j so that
gamma = 11j/(4 + 9j) = 11j(4 - 9j)/(16 + 81) = (99 + 44j)/97.
