Hey Nick,

The disparity in results comes (I think) from the fact that the flag of the 
stem in the left example ends after the beam begins on the X axis, and thus, 
the beam collision engraver moves the beam up to avoid the entire stem+flag.  
In the second example, on the other hand, the flag's rightmost X point falls to 
the left of the beam's leftmost X point.

Cheers,
