If you have vector drawings - why not put them into the PDF as vector?

Obviously the circle example is contrived, but my real use case uses PNG 
data and raster images from other sources (filtered vector drawings).

I've attached to the same dropbox (http://drop.io/z7g211m) an output PDF 
after adding a call to:
   PdfWriter.setRGBTransparency(true) 
to address (3).  This adds a transparency group to the Page object, with
/CS/DeviceRGB, but the problem persists.  Setting the /I flag on that group
yields the same result, but from the PDF spec it sounds like that flag doesn't
apply to a page anyway.

Is there some other way to reconcile the anti-aliasing algorithm?
