Modify Version due to facts.
Enhancement due to research (current behavior seems to be intended), please see
following comments.

This one is really tricky. Concerning viewing I see a clear pattern. Borders of
cell below or at the right have priority. I can't see any sample where this
rule will be broken.

Referring to Comment 7:
This rule also will be respected in prints. If the cell border is the end of
the print range (SampleLibO333FreePDF.pdf) the black bottom and right border of
the cells will be shown. SampleLibO333_export_x.pdf yellow borders from cells
below or at the right cover black cell borders.

If you type the "x" into "G6" you see black bottom borders of C6:E6, but yellow
borders of F4:F6 cover right black borders of E4:E6.

So currently It seems there is some difficult handling, but no bug.

Excel 2010 has a completely different approach, there latest change is valid.
If you have C4:E6 with black borders and then gibe red borders to D5, latest
change of D5 has priority and red borders will be shown all around D6. Adjacent
cells to D6 will loose their border style where they contact D5. You see that
when you copy paste them to elsewhere. 

An alternative approach might be to show both colors where cells with different
border colors meet?

I believe currently nothing can be "fixed" here, but some strategic decisions
might be necessary to improve usability? Consistence with other borders (Writer
table) should be kept in mind.

@David: 
Currently these details are missing ih Chapter 2 of LibreOffice 3 Calc Guide. I
only fin the note "The cell border properties apply to a cell ...", may be the
details discovered here should be mentioned?

@Kohei:
May be you already have some ideas in the drawer?
