When you create the Frame() in which you are loading the BIN file, either use
no attributes or set it to BG_BLACK. The problem is that if you give a frame
default attributes, anywhere there is no data (no character or attribute for a
particular sector) it will fill it in with the defaults, I'm assuming from your
screenshots that the attributes for the frame youre using are set to DARKGRAY,
which would cause that anomaly.

Let me know if this helps.
