This is not a bug, rather deficiency of Org's table alignment code.
The current code only takes into account the number of symbols, but not
their actual width in pixels.
The current approach reasonably good for actual plain text alignment,
but we can indeed do better wrt how tables are displayed in Emacs.
There is an existing package that implements this feature:

Nobody proposed an equivalent patch for Org so far.
