(I assume that you left out stemUp/stemDown commands)
Practices differ. Wanske (page 174) notes that Hader (1948) prescribes
that the main note must be aligned, while a more modern practice tries
to align the left edge (and the stems). In the 3rd case, aligning
stems is not possible, because then note heads would collide.
In other words: there is no "One True Wisdom" in this issue --
although I agree that the 1st and 2nd chords do look a little strange.
