AFAIK, it's in the design. (correct me if I am wrong).  The shape
of the "sampling beam" is a square, which thus tends to produce
orthogonal artefacts.

It can be corrected rather easily (it has been done in a lesser known
patch), along with adding the "bokeh" effect, but it's not the time
for such changes.
