Any jitter anywhere? jitter changes randomly from render to render. Try adding 
"jitter 0" in the media deffinition, it may help, at least, the problem pixels 
won't change.
You can also try changing the method used from the default (method 3).
Try increasing the number of samples. If using the default, keep intervals to 1, 
the default value.
