I also noticed this and was just playing around with it, I'm pretty sure it's a 3D problem.
If I rotate the camera so I'm looking straight down at the map, the click will focus right at the top of the cursor (at the tip of the feather).
If I rotate down as close to the horizon as possible, the click will land about half a tile above where it should.
[edit] This all happens with the hardware mouse too.
