Okay, they are not antialiased in any case.  And the problem is mine:
while 3.1.51 produces 640x480 PNG images by default, 3.1.52 produces
576x432 images by default which I wrongly forced to scale at 640x480.  I
think that the latter is not a very sane default, and should be changed,
but maybe not technically a bug.

Hm.  I get the svg correctly, but with big symbols and also big title fonts.
