[xep-support] Problem with rounded edge box

Hi,

I'm trying to make a red box with rounded corners which will have white text inside. The text inside may end up wrapping over more than one line, so I decided to have a 3x2 table with the middle column spanning over 2 rows. The text goes in this middle column whereas the other 4 cells have images with rounded corners.

<fo:table height="6mm" table-layout="auto" space-after.optimum="10pt" background-color="rgb-icc (204, 0, 0, #CMYK, 0, 1, 0.81, 0.04)">
        <fo:table-column />
        <fo:table-column />
        <fo:table-column />
        <fo:table-body>
                <fo:table-row>
                        <fo:table-cell display-align="before">
                                <fo:block line-height="0mm">
                                        <fo:external-graphic content-height="3mm" scaling="uniform" src="url('N:\DTP\Company General\xml brochure\A3Print\crop_circle_lt.tif')"/>
                                </fo:block>
                        </fo:table-cell>
                        <fo:table-cell number-rows-spanned="2" display-align="center">
                                <fo:block color="#FFFFFF" line-height="5mm" font-size="10pt" font-weight="bold" font-family="UniversGFI">
                                        Bla bla bla the text goes here and it will wrap over a number of lines
                                </fo:block>
                        </fo:table-cell>
                        <fo:table-cell display-align="before">
                                <fo:block line-height="0mm">
                                        <fo:external-graphic content-height="3mm" scaling="uniform" src="url('N:\DTP\Company General\xml brochure\A3Print\crop_circle_rt.tif')"/>
                                </fo:block>
                        </fo:table-cell>
                </fo:table-row>
                <fo:table-row>
                        <fo:table-cell display-align="after">
                                <fo:block line-height="0mm">
                                        <fo:external-graphic content-height="3mm" scaling="uniform" src="url('N:\DTP\Company General\xml brochure\A3Print\crop_circle_lb.tif')"/>
                                </fo:block>
                        </fo:table-cell>
                        <fo:table-cell display-align="after">
                                <fo:block line-height="0mm">
                                        <fo:external-graphic content-height="3mm" scaling="uniform" src="url('N:\DTP\Company General\xml brochure\A3Print\crop_circle_rb.tif')"/>
                                </fo:block>
                        </fo:table-cell>
                </fo:table-row>
        </fo:table-body>
</fo:table>

When we took the PDFs to the printer, some of the boxes have a thin red line around the images, as if the table has the equivalent of cellpadding in HTML. This can be visible from Adobe Acrobat Professional's Transparency Flattener Preview.

Any idea how I could solve this problem please?
