Roger,

Yes, I can replicate the 'edge' effect you describe in Mapnik as well,  
by either viewing a TileCache Mapnik layer in OL or specifically  
requesting of mapnik (using nik2img) the BBOX that tilecache requests.

The lines (actually missing pixel rows it seems) appear on the bottom  
edge of tile where the raster data is unrendered but not where vector  
data is effectively rendered.

These two bbox's trigger a one-pixel red line(where the raster file is  
not rendered) at the bottom of the image:

1) -20037508.34,10018754.17,-10018754.17,20037508.34
2) -20037508.34,0.0,0.0,20037508.34

...when requested as 256x256 tiles, while requesting a 255,256 tile  
will clip off the missing pixel row.


Sample image attached (not the upper red band is truly lacking data  
while the single pixel row on the bottom is the un-rendered data)
