Edit version who affect this issue. The behavior is intended. The borders are because the thumbnail is generated from the "normal" size image instead of the original one. We do this in order to save resources (in both, GD and imagemagick libraries, but most because of GD library) and also due to the text / watermark image. As I said, we left this issue open and unversoined (for the moment) to improve it on the future. Here're some suggestions :

* Generate thumbnail from original image (this will require MORE resources, also will require to upload multiple sizes watermark and multiple sizes text)
* Allow upscaling instead of borders (image will scale to fit the whole image size instead of adding borders)
* Change the size no matter the scale (width:height) of the original image (no borders at all)
* Since all these suggestion could be too bit complicated, it would be great if those ideas area implemented as a plugin instead of core functions.
