Yes, that's pretty much what the patch did: Not using anti aliasing when clipping. I am opening your test case on Chrome here and it's not antialiased - so Skia backend at least does the same. On Opera and Safari these are antialiased. This would require some refactoring on GraphicsContext to actually get this right in both cases (i.e. your case here (if it's a bug), and the reflection case).
