Text shadow bug in Safari 4.0.5

It looks like Safari 4.0.5 has introduced a bug in its rendering of the text-shadow property. This image is from my site as rendered in Chrome (and also as rendered in Safari 4.0.4):

This image is now my site rendered in Safari 4.0.5:

    It’s not really a bug but there’s now a simple option to fully customize antialiasing:

    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

    The following options are available: none, subpixel-antialiased (default) and antialiased :)
