Yeah, doesn't matter. PSA and logical sense don't frequently go together.
I would agree with you it's technically a mis-"print" if the front and the back don't align from the factory. But if there is one side of the card noticeably miscut (nevermind how nice the other side looks...) they will typically call it miscut. Also note that PSA can hit you up with just the "MC" qualifier - which is the standard missing border or part of another card showing - and then there is the more mysterious, less understood N8 (rejected) miscut. These are generally reserved for diamond cuts, or unexplainable skew borders that they don't like. These do not have to be super obvious anymore for PSA to reject them. For example I have a '56 Ernie Banks that is in an SGC 6 slab. It has a weirdly wide upper left horizontal border. It's like it skews upwards, and the card is slightly too big - beyond 2 5/8 on that vertical side. While it doesn't affect the eye appeal of an otherwise very pretty card much - it is noticeable. I'm pretty sure current-day PSA would have N8 rejected that one.
