This seems like an old question, but I had the same issue.  I think the suggestion to draw a polygon is a good one.  However, I found that this is actually what happens when you use filledcurves to fill a region between the x-axis and a single curve, so this is not an issue for one curve.  However, if you are trying to fill between two curves with the notation suggested by most demo scripts as shown here (i.e. plot ... using 1:2:3 ...), it uses a bunch of separate trapezoids rather than one solid polygon.  You can see this by making the sampling larger.  The issue seems to be that tikz is always making a very find border that has a slightly different color than the transparent fill.

I found the solution to be in the end to plot one vector where each point is a vertex of the polygon that would fill between the curves.  In other words, the vector sarts by specifying all of the x-y points of the top curve, moving from left to right in x, followed by all of the x-y points of the bottom curve, moving from right to left.  Then just plot this one vector with plot ... using 1:2 ... This makes one polygon with a single face so you don't have this stitching/border error between a bunch of separate polygons.
