I disagree. By definition, the camera is supposed to be centered on the
look_at point, but it isn't. For most scenes, the half pixel doesn't matter
very much, but for things which require to-the-pixel accuracy, the current
behavior is *very* annoying. And a lot more scenes require this accuracy
than one would think at first glance. For an example, look no further than
Insert > Scene Templates > Orthographic Scene.

I actually described how to fix it for 3.1g. See my earlier thread, "Camera
is off by half a pixel".
