@kanitw is right. I think we need to revert vega/vega-parser#46 and only suppress the default stroke when the fill color is bound to a scale at the top-level of the legend ({"fill": "fillScale", ...}. We currently suppress the default stroke when a custom fill encoding is applied as well, but this issue clearly shows that this was a poor choice…

I confirm 3.0.0-rc5 fixes this issue.
