What you are seeing is just one of the ways Rotobrush displays the matte:
I see things in your screenshot that tells me that you probably have probably not gone through the Rotobursh section of the User Guide. When Rotobrush was introduced I couldn't figure out how to use it without doing some homework.
I have one more thought. I am assuming that the shape you are trying to mask is animated. Generating a procedural matte using something like Color Range. I took your screenshot into AE, created a comp, then one click with Color range gave me this:
This was 3 clicks:
The whole thing took about 3 seconds. I don't think Rotobrush is the right tool for this project.

Thank you for your advice and help, but I wasn't doing rotobrush on that picture, I was just using it as an example.
