Indeed, Karlin, you are perfectly right - thanks for the observation! This is definitely not a Windows problem, it's an unwanted side effect of using negative string distances: The total width (5 times the string distance on a 6 string instrument) has to be increased by the half the line thickness on either side in order to neatly align.
In our mirrored case, the (negative!) line thickness is added, i.e. the line thickness is actually being subtracted (!), so that the horizontal bar (the "nut") aligns with the inner margins of the "strings" rather than the outer margins. If we want to deliberately and officially use the negative string distance hack, we could adapt the width calculation by just adding the *absolute value of the string thickness* (thus ignoring the sign of string-distance) - that'll do the trick.
