I've dug through more source code and, as far as I can tell, GeoServer/GeoTools never clips the polygons. It simply passes them to java.awt.Graphics2D.fill(), which presumably applies a polygon "filling" algorithm, not a polygon clipping algorithm. My guess is that filling is much faster than clipping, but it is just a guess.
