Well, I can tell you what is wrong …
The definition of \referencecolumnnumber is like this:
\def\referencecolumnnumber
{\numexpr \dimexpr \clf_referenceposx -\cutspace \relax /
\dimexpr \makeupwidth /\nofcolumns \relax
+\plusone \relax }
But that outer \numexpr rounds instead of truncates. so anything that
is past halfway of the column is rounded too far up. This fixes it
(but not very elegantly)
\unprotect
\def\referencecolumnnumber
{\numexpr \dimexpr \clf_referenceposx -\cutspace - \makeupwidth
/(2*\nofcolumns) \relax /
\dimexpr \makeupwidth /\nofcolumns \relax
+\plusone \relax }
\protect
Best wishes,
Taco
