Yep, the problem arise when outline is used in combination with shadow. Unfortunately that issue does not seem easy to fix. Possible hack : placing before line 4046 of pdflib_core.cpp the following line :

hl2.setEffects(hl2.effects() & (~ScStyle_Outline));

I gonna set target version for resolution to 1.3.6, but it's not sure we will be able to fix that issue in this version.
