Default Export Google Maps Tiles introduces unwanted anti-aliasing

I am exporting a GeoTIFF raster to Google Maps tiles and am getting unwanted anti-aliasing, but only at zoom levels 0 through 12 (zoom levels 13 through 15 are not anti-aliased, which is what I want). I am using Global Mapper 10.02. Here are exact steps for reproducing:
  1. Open "test.tif"
  2. File > Export Web Formats (Google Maps, VE, WW, etc.) > Export Google Maps Tiles...
  3. Choose "Level 15 - 4.8 meters/pixel"
  4. Enter "16" for number of zoom levels to use (will create Z0 through Z15)
  5. Click "OK"
  6. In the resulting files, open Z12\1634\2737.png in an image editor. Zoom in. Note that it has anti-aliasing. Now open Z13\3269\5475.png. Note that it has no anti-aliasing.

I have attached "test.zip" which contains "test.tif" and a folder called "test" containing the output of the Google Maps tiles I created.

How can I configure Global Mapper to never anti-alias when exporting to Google Maps tiles?
