This is caused by an interaction between antialiasing and filled areas 
with perfectly aligned edges.  Both Agg and Cairo suffer from this 
"problem".  There has been a discussion on the devel a few times about 
ways around it, none of which have really panned out, if I recall 
correctly.  Though this isn't a regression, as far as I can tell.  
0.98.5.x produces the same lines as SVN (at least for me).

Sorry I don't have an easy answer to this.
