Atanas, I get that effect on my monitor as well, with both the original turtle.py and the new one. The effect is exactly the same with both versions and I assume it just reflects the fact that pixels are rectanglar, nor perfect squares.
The difference I get is fairly small (1 or 2 %), but I suspect it might be noticable on other monitors. And yes, having a larger window makes it more obvious.
