Looks like I did jump the gun and jinxed it.  They just reverted these
changes, scale_factor is back to what is was and the black pixel
problem has returned.

I get it, non-operational and what have you.  Looks like they're still
changing things; I guess I'll take it as a good sign that it's finally
being addressed and eventually it'll stay fixed.
