I think this has to do with hole or other geometry compensation and not an error in the program.
I would like an option to prevent the automatic geometry compensation (preferable in the GUI). This way I know I have to compensate for precise geometry taking into account material shrinkage (PLA/ABS) and the surrounding geometry.
I often have the problem with older models - they printed fine then, but now there is a new (and unknown) compensation algorithm and the model must be changed to print correctly... extra work...
Mold makers has a similar problem. They begin with a perfect model and has to make mold model taking shrinkage and post machining into account. I would like the same option.
As a bonus I could have the compensation values documented in the "mold" CAD drawing and make it easier changing to printing material with other properties.
Just to make a great program better :)

Just designed a stepper pulley with a shaft hole and a mounting slot.
Simple test CAD picture: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6681664/github/Slic3r_Hole_Correction_Failure.jpg
Slicing the item gives the shaft two hole diameters one at the lower layers and one at the top layers (shaft designed with constant diameter).

(Can be difficult to see but the diameter changes from one layer to another)
