No, that's not the problem. The cell background is painted and then cell borders are painted next (i.e. "over" them). The problem is rather subpixel effects. Lines can become smaller than one device pixel and can therefore disappear (worst case). At any rate, FOP makes the lines exactly as wide as you specify them. The negative effect occurs at rendering time in the viewer.
I went looking into the PDF spec again (the general topic has come up before) and this time I found something. There's chapter 6.5.4 "Automatic Stroke Adjustment" (in PDF 1.4) which could be used to help counteract such effects. Maybe someone wants to experiment with the "SA" state entry. Patches are welcome.
