I spoke a bit too soon -- on my PCB it looks like pads & vias are treated differently. Vias use the pad size, and so exhibit the problem. For free pads, the pour leaves an area the shape of the pad (round, rectangular, or octagonal), but uses the larger of the hole and pad size in each direction. (Try a skinny rectangular pad, e.g., 1x50 with a 20mil hole.)
