Sounds like a problem with loose belts/backlash. Have you isolated this problem to cura? Does the same thing happen with slic3r?
If you print slower does the same thing happen?
Ideally if your extruder is perfectly calibrated your top surface should be perfectly flat with very few holes (only when the space to be filled is smaller than the width of an extrusion).
Are the holes you are seeing also present in the gcode? For example using PrintRun's gcode visualization? (YOu can set the width of lines on the display to be the same as your actual measured extrusion width)

same problem on Cura RC2 (so I don't think the problem is software related).
perhaps there's a way I can improve the quality of the top surface by extruding more material? fiddling with the filament diameter, E or the packing density perhaps?
