No, it's the other way around: X11 and Windows *don't* extend the
face, the NS build *does*.  Maybe I misunderstood what you said, but
my interpretation was that you liked the NS behavior (which I think is
a bug).

Hl-Line mode explicitly highlights the entire line, so it's a small
wonder you see the entire line highlighted in its color.  What happens
at EOB could be a bug (or a feature) in hl-line, and is not related to
the issue at hand in any way, shape or form, because hl-line.el does
this:

      (setq tmp t
            b (line-beginning-position)
            e (line-beginning-position 2)))
    (if tmp
        (move-overlay overlay b e)

Which intends to set the background of every character until the
beginning of the next line.

No, they are two entirely different issues, AFAICT.
