HI Craig,
We have seen this lately, the easy fix is filing down the nut, which is what we have been doing. Somehow the tuner manufacturer gave use the wrong size so we just put the thread on a belt sander to lower the height. If the customer doesn’t feel comfortable doing this we can send replacements out to them just have them contact me.

So either they missed that step, or they didn't realize that they needed to do this when my guitar was built. I'll say that it's very close and if you're doing it in a hurry you might mistake the wobble in the hole as normal wobble of the post.
I tried filing one down myself with a metal file, and it looks like it would work, but I have no good way to remove the burrs that that leaves.
