Vex's CAD models often include the actual clearances for parts, and I'm used to seeing these 0.001" or so gaps, but this is more significant.

I think that it could be a simple mistake in the modeling of the dog. I see no reason why this mismatched angle setup is any better than the typical approach, but I could be missing something.
