Yes.  Although array.sty fixes \hline so it does not overlap the 
area occupied by the cell, \cline still overlaps.  It has to do so
because multiple \cline commands must be at the same level.  If
you put something big in a tabular cell ($\displaystyle\int$) you
see that a \cline partially overlaps the text.

I think major tricky rewriting of \cline and tabular would be 
needed to fix this well.

If there are no vertical lines, you can use

 ..& .. \\[.5\arrayrulewidth]
 \cline{} \cline{}
 \noalign{\vspace{.5\arrayrulewidth}}

If there are vertical lines it is very difficult, but maybe arydshln
is compatible with colortbl?
