The dashed red line is a possible realization of the physical parameters line, from which the flow starts, as the temperature is varied. I understand why it isn't a conventional Landau-symmetry-breaking phase transition: there is no local symmetry-breaking order parameter on either side of the transition, and all thermodynamic quantities remain continuous (though not analytic) at all derivative orders Such relation has been observed in superfuid helium thin films [Bishop and Reppy, 1978].
