Thats strange, it looks like this for me (with factory settings)

The reason for using stippling is so when you're texturing, the colors
of the object you texture are not confused with the color of the
active face.
You probably remember 2.3x used to have a colored outline for the actuve face.

Maybe stipple could be used only in 'Texture' viewport shading.
