This is a result (I think) of better height approximations.  Certainly doesn't 
bug me, although now that stem heights are more accurate, people may want to 
change how the effect vertical spacing in the weeks to come (i.e. investigate 
if a high stem should bear the same skyline consequences as a high notehead).  
Of course, all of this is under the assumption that my stem work is correct, 
but I believe that it's correct.
