I can't reproduce your problem. Attached is a slightly version of our  
fluidsynth_metronome program that is distributed in the doc/ folder of 
FluidSynth:
http://fluidsynth.sourceforge.net/api/fluidsynth__metronome.c-example.html

Instead of using an audio driver, this modified program renders 10 bars of 
the metronome pattern to a wav disk file. It uses absolute tick times, like 
the original sample program. The result has all beats where they should be.
