I'm not seeing any blending, but the fill color doesn't start until just 
under the tabs. That is, the whole rectangle isn't filled, only the 
lower part.

I don't think there's a way around that. It used to be that the whole 
thing was filled right to the corners, which weren't rounded, so the 
fill color made little corners above the round-rect borders at the top 
right and top left of the button. I guess the fix was to fill only the 
area below the tabs. I hadn't looked at it in a long time, ever since I 
decided that you couldn't sucessfully color tab buttons.
