This is an anti-aliasing side-effect of your PDF viewer. Check if you can disable anti-aliasing (in Acrobat Reader, the setting's called "Smooth line art"). In print, this should not happen.
Note to fop-devs: I guess we may need to start thinking about how to avoid these side-effects (most probably by gathering all border segments of a table together before painting). This has come up a number of times now. Ideas, patches, all welcome. But I don't think this will be easy.
