Additional Medicare withholding reconciliation

anyone else seeing these $1 Addl Medicare withholding reconciliations (shows up on the 8959, Line 22) when people have multiple W2s? Ive seen it on several clients already, these are NOT high income earners, so I wasn't expecting the 8959 to come into play at all.
 
I started lopping off the change when I key in my figures, like IRS does, rather than rounding, and 
Ive got my W2 worksheets to Automatically calculate, maybe its rounding up on the Medicare withholding?
 It tosses $1 to additional withholding. Maybe I have to go back to rounding my numbers up if over 50 cents?
 
Weird

Yes. I was baffled, but it's the rounding that's causing it.

Now Im seeing reports of this happening in TurboTax too, but the 8959 is an upcharge for TT users, Im sure support is getting an earful.

Just had another one, but the calculations are correct, so not going to worry about. I wonder if all those TT users will be speaking to the box about the upcharge.
