I don't see the problem. I've got a clear 4 pixel margin between the
last number and the vertical black line.

Please do.

What font are you using as your system font?  Have you tried different
fonts?  This is probably just a miscalculation of where to start drawing
the text in the register window.

I tried changing from a 10 point font to a 14 point font to see what
would happen.  My numbers all still look fine, but the bottom of every
line of text is now cut off.  Clearly there are still some problems here
calculating sizes.

P.S. You can change the font just for gnucash by creating the file
~/.gtkrc-2.0.gnucash and adding the following:
--- CUT HERE ---
style "gnc-register"
{
  font_name    = "Sans 14"
}
widget "*.GnucashSheet" style "gnc-register"
