Yes, I think you are right, the results you get on your Intel GPU make
more sense than the ones I get on my slightly older Intel and the AMD GPU.
At the edges of the output image you'd expect a wrap-around to the other
side of the texture. That this does not happen on AMD suggests that they
add a 0.5x0.5 texel offset when fetch4 is used. Why they would do that
is beyond me though.
I haven't found any Microsoft documents that explicitly state that the
texture coordinates in d3d9 are at the center of the texel (like they
are in GL and d3d10), unlike the viewport coordinates, that are in the
corner of the framebuffer pixels. However, a number of third party
documentation suggests this. That would also explain why we never had to
worry about a half texel offset with textures.
I guess AMD incorrectly tried to correct the d3d9 weirdness.
Since AMD invented fetch4 we should stick to their behavior, if possible.

If it were
G B
A R
I could try to explain it away with a top left vs bottom left coordinate
origin, but the swizzle you actually see I have no idea...
