I don't see a problem here.  There's lots of stuff about tie size and 
placing in Gould, but she says (amongst other stuff) "Where there is plenty 
of space .... the tie starts and finishes at the centre of the notehead." 
"Where the tie needs to be brought closer to the notehead ... the ends of 
the tie align with the edge of the notehead."
