When a unit with insufficient movement tries to move onto a north pole square and fails, it leaves a trail in the black border.
Whn a city is building a unit and the production gets upgraded automagically (i.e. synthmetal sentinels to plasma sentinels), the production orders tag below the city name does not get cleaned up properly.
Both these "sprite trails" will go away when moving the screen around or waiting a turn.

To add to the graphics "glitches", sometimes the last automated unit disappears when it becomes your turn to move your non-automated units, only to appear again if the screen is scrolled or the cursor is moved onto the square where the automated unit disappeared. Not a huge problem, just something that can be addressed in the next patch.

I have also noticed this video glitch in V 3.0. I also see it on Mt. Planet when dragging the map southwards.
