This issue has been solved already, but I am filing (and immediately closing) it here anyway so we'll have a record of what happened and how it was fixed.
Problem was this error in floorplanning as seen in e.g. buildkite job 392

The solution was to ask the planner to snap all corners of the block. Before (in floorplan.tcl):
set cgra_subsys [get_cells -hier core_cgra_subsystem]
create_guide -area [expr $grid_llx - $margin] $core_to_edge ...
set gc [get_cells -hier *GlobalController*]
create_guide -area $gc_llx $grid_ury $gc_urx $gc_ury -name $gc_name
...
After:
set_preference SnapAllCorners 1
set cgra_subsys [get_cells -hier core_cgra_subsystem]
create_guide -area [expr $grid_llx - $margin] $core_to_edge ...
set gc [get_cells -hier *GlobalController*]
create_guide -area $gc_llx $grid_ury $gc_urx $gc_ury -name $gc_name
...
