Dear Robert,
what you report as sub-optimal has once been considered to be a feature:
that very thick tick lines are bounded by the axis rectangle in some
"proper" way.
Perhaps it was "too" proper...
Well, there is currently no option to disable the feature.
I admit that I am not quite sure if it is actually a bug or a feature,
so I won't fix it (immediately).
But I can propose a technical work-around which will do for your
application: using the preamble command
\makeatletter
\def\pgfplots@drawtickgridlines@INSTALLCLIP@onorientedsurf#1{}
\makeatother
will deactivate the special handling and all tick lines will have the
same dimensions -- just as requested.
Does this solve the issue? If you believe that I should incorporate such
a change (at least as option), then write again.
Best regards
Christian
