Using SSAA alters the colors in Skyward Sword (Also, Depth of Field appears to render improperly)

Description
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
SOUE01
When using SSAA in DX9 mode or OpenGL mode, the colors are rendered differently. Also, comparing Skyward Sword screenshots to official Nintendo screenshots of Skyward Sword it appears that the depth of field is rendered differently.
Screenshot examples of the difference are at the bottom of this post.
Tested on Dolphin 4.0
64 bit OS and 32 bit Dolphin. GTX570, i5 2400k @ 3.1Ghz, 8gb RAM.

I understand that Imgur is the prefered method of showing images, but I've used Sta.sh as it allows for lossless image uploads so that you can more easily see the differences.
As for the depth of field issue, here is an official example from Nintendo of what the DoF should look like.

I tried to get a similar shot to the official Nintendo screenshot and here is what I ended up with. It also shows off another bug with OpenGL that there will sometimes be a small black line across that section of the screen where it's visible in this screenshot.

The black line issue is an auto-scale issue and won't be considered, but I have different issues with SSAA. See: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=6640

That nintendo image is for demonstration purposes and probably altered, just check out the resolution which is way above of what wii can output. Use actual ingame footage if you want to make a claim about it.

Using enhancements can cause glitches. There is no hard evidence of any issue with Dolphin. If you can find evidence, feel free to leave a message in this issue or create a new one!
