No idea, what goes wrong in your case. I didn't expect big differences 
for polygons at resolutions <=20. In my test cases there I can't see any 
difference. I have just tested. Polygons looks a bit ugly with or 
without the recent change.

I know, that the dp filter is not really optimal for cleaning up 
polygons in general. Maybe needs an other approach...
