Weird Crosshair Gnome Desktop

I am on Debian Buster amd64 with gnome-shell 3.30.1-2. I just did some updates and noticed that I now have this crosshair pattern on the desktop/background.
Does anyone know why this pattern, seen below, has appeared?
- Testing featured that was left enabled?
- New window organization hint?
- Weird plugin on my part?
Thanks!
EDIT: Looks like the default background itself has a cross on it.

Does the pattern survive when you change the background image?

No. The cross is gone if I change it to another background. The background previewer seems to think that that particular (default) background has a cross on it.

If I reselect the default background, the cross still appears. I checked out all the images in /usr/share/wallpapers . None of those SVGs show a cross in them using eog viewer. Maybe a Gnome background SVG rendering error?

There's a similar cross near one of the corners of the lower left preview as well.

Compare this question that involves PNG and Windows: Invisible PNG Image Layer that is only visible as a background. Can something similar happen with SVG and Debian? It's worth investigating.
