See
http://www.koders.com/cpp/fid5E72FF127FF66330C902165EB46C14C3BA824BD6.aspx?s=mdef%3Ainsert
for the source code which prints the line. My guess is that the wrong
QPaintDevice is used, that is one which doesn't implement metric() or
maybe overloading doesn't work correctly.

Can you compile the code with debug information?
