I think this is the very straighforward side effect of butting traces perfectly. The method would use a default 8mil grid to paint 8mil track sizes for example. If you have been accustomed (as I have) to using say 6 or 7mil grid spacing for an 8mil trace size then inevitably there will be more traces in a largish fill area.
