Inverse Shapeburst fill of polygons shows vertices and not edges

Description

Using QGIS 2.8.1 and it would appear that rather than nice smooth shapeburst fills with the inverse shapeburst tool, I am getting "bubbles" of fills.
The "blurs" appear to match certain vertices. I have tried this on 3 different polygon files all with the same effect. It also doesn't matter if the polygons are merged or not.
Attached is a screenshot of the output using a road dataset

I'm unable to reproduce this. Is this a regression? Please test with 2.6. Also, can you try a different dataset?

Hi Nyall/Giovanni
After much crunching, I merged all the polygons and got the desired output. It would appear that either
a) The "Merge polygons" option isn't working for the shapeburst fill or
b) I need to RTFM on correct use of these tools.
Do you have a dropbox or FTP where I can drop these files as they are around 100MB for both zipped shapefiles

There are 2 files, one the merged final roads which work fine and the second is the original "non-merged" road poylgons.

I'm not sure what "merge" option do you refers here.

cheers!

Doesn't appear to be a problem in 2.8.2 or Master :)
