Another option is to rebuild pcb without Xrender support, and see if
it's the rendering that's the problem.  Or export to Postscript.  IIRC
the gerbers use the dicer, so if the dicer is bad, the gerbers should
be bad also.

They do, but they operate on the full board.  The clue about being
zoomed in suggests that it has to do with first cropping the poly to the
visible area and then dicing it.  That would also explain why the
artifacts move around (as the visible objects, many of which seem to
be placed on an angle, intersect at different offsets).


The barring also happens at full-view (zoomed out), but Gerbers are just
fine.  The Gerber soldermask layer is a negative image - maybe that
makes the difference to the dicer?  I'll work getting a "sample board"
for public consumption.

OK - here's a board that shows what I am talking about on the solder mask layer. Let me know if it's just that "I see dead people"...
