Seems to be an oddity in how some systems are handling the edges of UV maps, and instead of drawing it to the edge like they should, it kinda mongs out leaving an untextured section.
IMO the easiest way to hide it on paper would be to only join textures in parts where it's hidden, however that isn't always possible. Add that there's increased chances for rendering oddities with lesser hardware if things are hidden internally, and it gets a whole lot more awkward.
Weird that people have only just noticed it happening. Guess that shows how (un)popular previous items were lol
Well we try to avoid such edges as best as we can by unwrapping the outside parts as a whole and leaving the seams on the inside of the items, I personally never mirror my textures, but that is just personal preference. The uv edges just leaves brutal black lines even if you texture them all the way out. I guess that is why I prefer to make black or dark items, because then you don't have to worry about the edges that much. Maybe it would be a good idea to experiment with different shader settings for previews.

The black lines aren't bad, and for the most part they're unnoticeable - it's when there's a 1/2" white strip where crap hardware failed to 3D correctly it becomes an issue.
Sadly though, unless you have a machine with whatever crap hardware & settings required to cause the aforementioned 3D fail it's hard to judge if it'll happen on an edge or not. Some do, some don't.

Not quite my friend, those seams are from an smooth and UV mapping bug. We had the same issue on the demon wings, couldn't get it to map properly in the end, that's why the texture looks how it does lol.
Avoiding smooth and SS help a lot, but even then there can be problems. I Believe the shark model was fixed anyway ;)
Elf is another reason entirely, but I would guess that unsmoothing it would fix the problem.
