I tried this on my machine:

On PCB 20060822 autorouted lines have half the clearance value that is
set in the "route style" dialog. If you set 30 mil in the dialog then
autorouted lines will have 15 mil gaps. Hand drawn lines have 30 mil gaps.

On CVS version of PCB autorouted lines have the same clearance as hand
drawn lines. If you set 30 mil in the dialog all lines have 30 mil gaps.

In my opinion the CVS version works correctly. On the other hand the
file format spec does seem a bit illogical.
