Yow. I didn't expect that!
Turns out the problem is in the definition of the GRID_AREA_TO_ALPHA()
macro: It truncates rather than rounds when converting a span's area
to [0,255]. I'll commit a fix to that soon.
After that fix if we decide that the image backend's seaming is still
unacceptable in the collinear-but-not-exactly-equal-coordinates case,
we might try doing the edge walking DDA in 24.8 space rather than the
rasteriser's quantized space. That might mean needing to increase the
Y supersampling to 16x from 15x to keep the edge bucketing easy
though.
