Ok, I looked at the resulting PDF and it seems that due to the way Scribus
realizes 
gradients in PDF, at the stop the color gets painted twice (it seems this is
a freak 
antialiasing effect).

If you file a bug report, Franz or someone else will implement gradients
using 
another method (stitching functions as described in the PDF Reference 1.6
for 
Shading Patterns). That should help with this artefact.
