d.vect.chart? Or d.vect.thematic?

No. It's perfectly possible to draw filled areas as filled areas. But
if a module decides to do its own filling by telling the driver to
draw lots of lines, then you get lots of lines. The display drivers
can't "undo" any rasterisation performed by the module.

IOW, it's a problem with the modules, or with specific libraries which
they use, not with the display system.
