(Get the code!)
Yes, slight is being done by the Autohinter. It /may/ be possible to do something to bring the auto-hinted outlines and manually hinted outlines closer together; but as you note the work has been put into the manually-hinted forms (Hinted=Full) already.
I'm thinking something along the lines of more effective blending between outline, autohinter implementation and manual hinted, rather than switching straight from one method to the other when the setting gets to "Full".
This will need investigation during the next six months or so, and is probably more likely to be on the Freetype or FontConfig side.
