axis_canvas and ggplot hlines with same values are not aligned when scale_y_continuous uses expand argument

ggplot v3.3.0
cowplot v1.0

when ggplot uses scale_y_continuous with expand argument, equal values on plot and axis_canvas are not aligned.
when I remove the expand argument, then everything is nicely aligned

library(tidyverse)
library(cowplot)
