If you use the border option, no border shows up. E.g. on Wikipedia [[Image:Flag of Japan.svg|22px|border]] The output is in an anchor tag: <a... class=image...><img ...image spec.../></a>. Class "image" doesn't seem to be defined anywhere (not in standard main.css, Mediawiki:Common.css nor Mediawiki:Monobook.css). I'm not sure what CSS will generate a border in an anchor tag with an image - nothing I experimented with would work. Other options with a frame (e.g. thumb) creates <div>s to form borders.
<img ... class="thumbborder"> Works for me, and shows just fine.
This is from MW 1.10 (image url elided): <img alt="border" longdesc="..." src="..." width="101" height="73" /> no class="thumbborder". Is this new to 1.11?
Yes.
