Yes. But why is that a problem?
If you dislike that, you could make the stretch one column shorter,
like this:
(let* ((align (list 'space :align-to `(+ (,(- (window-body-width nil t)
(default-font-width)))
,(window-hscroll))))
(Btw, I think adding window-hscroll is incorrect here, as its value is
in columns, while window-body-width returns the width in pixels.)

I could, but I consider that a "doomsday weapon", hopefully never to
be used in Emacs development, certainly not by me. I don't think it
was ever done.
