Very nice!

Linear features, if they have their end on tile boundary, should be
continued outside the tile to omit the effect of "linecap inside line"
problem. So the bug is somewhere near there. Do you have any
screenshots? (you can send them directly to me or attach to bugzilla).

Nice present for new year :3
