Note it is usually best to only hillshade the land and not the water so 
if you draw the water above the hillshade you won't have this edge 
problem (it is of course even better to modify the DEM before shading 
to match the coastline but that's quite a bit more complex).

I am currently preparing rendering polar maps myself so if you need 
hillshade images for the lower zoom levels i could provide them - for 
zoom=2 with 6000km map area (i think that's what you are using as 
well):
