Possible answer...

I did a quick check on the two images you posted and they are not at the same scale.

The coral should be identical in size between the two if the resolutions are set the same, yet the OS X version is smaller in relation to the OS 9 shot.

The coral piece I measured in the OS X shot was 68 x 25, where the OS 9 version was 73 x 26. The difference in size width wise works out that the OS X version is about 93.15% of the OS 9 one. The vertical height isn't really large enough to get a real precentage, but it's similar (93.15% of 26 is 24.2).

I think what you're seeing is that the scaling is causing the image to degrade, creating jaggies. In all likelyhood the image is being geneterated at the right size, but for some reason is being scaled down in OS X.

Hope this helps.
