Once I finally managed to get my turn on these Airs (there were only two MacBook Airs on display in the entire store - I think that a large reason for this is there were still lots of unibody MacBooks on display alongside the new 13" MacBook Pros.
I was specifically looking for the lines, which is the only reason that I noticed them at all. I had to look really near to the screen. Other than actually seeing the lines, it seemed to cause a slight flickering / movement. My general impression when using them from a natural distance was that the displays were of higher-than-average quality. Perhaps the issue is more pronounced on other displays in which I have not seen first-hand. I consider myself a perfectionist and slightly OCD, for measurement's sake, and my career is in graphic design. I am used to closely analyzing aesthetics.
