Which version is this in? Check the triangle count in the stats window. Is there a difference between play and edit mode? There was a bug in one of the earlier versions.. Early 3.0.6 or 3.0.5, I don't remember.
Ok, solved it.
It was my screwing up, but how I did it can be good for you to know.
I was trying to switch out old test graphics on a NGUI image button, and instead of switching the sprite in the container I only switched on the Background.

This has the effect of only showing the background sprite in the editor view but showing the sprite selected in the image button container during runtime. It is reproducible.

Without Murphys law I would of course have noticed this immediately, but in this case the test graphics was a version of the round background with the triangle baked in. So in the editor with only the new background without a triangle everything was looking fine. But in the player during runtime the old baked background was used resulting in a double triangle...

Thanks!
