the problem is probably that the contrast border has too much contrast. 
perhaps one of the artists could comment on it; it may make sense to do more 
than a single pixel and make it a nice blend, even. again, visual  design is 
not my area of expertise, but i know that a single hi-contrast stroke is not 
the only possibility here =)
