I created a shape, then within that shape connected some points and used the paint bucket to add another color. What seems to be happening is the paint bucket isn't replacing the color, but rather adding a color on top of the shape, because when I render, I see the first shape color around the edges.

Other than creating another layer for the second color and painstakingly matching the edge to the first shape, is there a way to work around it?

Really paint bucket is not a tool to change colors of fills. It is for quick create sapes by only one click with current fill and outline settings (if they are checked at top of main window). If you want to change one shape properties select it with select shape tool and then use style window to modify setings for that shape.
You should also consider use of predefined styles to quickly aply to several shapes at same time. See tutorial and help from AS built in help.
