That's because of the low profile TrackPoint. The upper notch on the B key is larger than it was on older ThinkPads with the high profile TrackPoint.
This is nothing new; every recent ThinkPad with the low profile TrackPoint has the B label offset like this. It's not something you notice when actually using the machine: I've been using a ThinkPad Yoga 460 for most of this year, and never realized the B label was offset until I saw people talking about it when the T25 keyboard photos were leaked.
Unlike the high profile TrackPoints on all my previous ThinkPads, the low profile one never leaves a smudge on the screen. I'll take that over a perfectly aligned key label any day.
