As I am doing right now on a Steinway A2, I typically seat the agraffe to bisect the angle to mitigate the turning "moment" of the agraffe with strings that are not straight from the speaking length to the tuning pin, especially in the monochords, rarely in the bichords. I can see how a serious bichord offset would cause a rotational force, however.
