I can't see any difference while testing on both linux and windows using qgis master and exporting to pdf. Could you please give it a try and/or attach a project with sample data and the problematic layout? thanks.

I haven't done much testing, but it may have been due to using an old (version 2.2) project file in 2.6. Creating a new project seems to have changed this behavior. Raster and vector prints came out the same dimensions.

Does that sound plausible to you?

the composer has been subject of a lot of changes, so is probable. I would suggest to close this one.
