Since 14w04a the block occupied by transparent blocks such as tall grass, flowers, fences etc. looks darker, as if shadowed; it looks much more evident with no Smooth Shading. The block's light level seems not to change, though.
This issue is probably caused by the fix of MC-2399

Confirmed, attached a screenshot showing dark spots in a plains biome.

To reproduce the bug, you have to set the brightness to Moody (the lower the brightness, the more visible the bug is).
