not sure of the cause, but changing the light_source makes for a smooth shadow
line, ie I did:

#if (0)
light_source {
    < 0,0,0 >
    color rgb<2, 2, 2>
    spotlight
    falloff 22.50
    radius 19.125000
    tightness 0
    point_at  <0, 0, -1>
    fade_distance 12.500000
    fade_power 2
    matrix <0.901870, 0.180445, -0.392519,  -0.417916, 0.594587, -0.686886,
0.109441, 0.783522, 0.611650,  0.000000, 18.516430, 14.742990>
}

#else
light_source {0 colour srgb 1 parallel}
#end
