VCL drawPolygon() off-by-one without line color

Yes, essentially all graphics systems fill polygons like that
(including 3D ones). The reason is that otherwise you cannot render
pixel-perfect adjacent polygons without occasional overlap (especially
for non-straight connecting lines).

So really drawRect() is the odd one out, as Caolan suggested.

...and now you know why the code is so littered with this +1/-1
corrections for rectangles. The (now gone) software renderer in
basebmp had some comments about those subtleties, and some explicit
adjustments in the svp backend layer above.

Cheers,
