No, the borders are painted differently in 0.90 and later. Inner borders are painted in two parts (each grid unit paints its own half of the border). We don't have any additional logic that can merge table borders for painting to avoid such effects, yet. Doing that could mean quite a bit of work and I suspect that this is not a priority for any of the developers at the moment. > Regarding nested tables, I attached the source code and the result for old > and new version here.

Thanks for the test case. That helps. I must say, I can't identify anything where FOP 0.95 misbehaves. Please note that 0.95 is much more accurate in interpreting the XSL spec than FOP 0.20.5. That in itself can cause unwanted changes if the XSL is not fully correct. For example, you have the "margin" shorthand on some table-cell. The margin properties are mapped to start/end-indent and space-before/after (chapter 5.3.2 in XSL 1.1). None of those apply to table-cell, but since start/end-indent are inherited they have an effect on child elements. This could have unwanted side-effects in your case. I'd simply remove the margin shorthand and try to improve from there. Again, I would suggest that you also replace the outer tables with block-containers. That makes your XSL-FO simpler and easier to manage. FOP 0.20.5 didn't support normal block-containers but FOP 0.95 does which offers new possibilities.
