OK, a terminal-specific thing then. I do a similar thing as well
(units are 1/100 of a point), but that's because one point is simply
too big on a vector-based terminal.

Well, sure it has to be fixed in the core. I just wanted to say that
it probably can't be that difficult to solve. However increasing the
resolution is not the solution.

Imagine that you have a rectangular with x axes equal to 0.6 and 10.4.
This will draw
    (1,y)--(10,y)
but
    (10,y) shifted (1,y)
which results in
    (1,y)--(11,y)
