Near the scale where we reach the resolution limits of an input raster we avoid having GDAL pre-scale the image, so that upsampling can be done within the RasterSymbolizer.

This is currently done here: http://trac.mapnik.org/browser/trunk/plugins/input/gdal/gdal_featureset.cpp#L139

But when map buffers are used it is likely that`im_width != width` is at, or past, the resolution limit of the image and a GDAL pre-scaled image is chosen that is too small.
