I don't think the mismatch is structurally significant. My guess is that the rear triangle was tooled with certain angles and is used on different size frames. On a taller frame it will hit the seat tube a little short of the top tube. Or.... the designer just designed it that way. If that was such a big deal, step-through frames would fail all the time, but they don't.
I wouldn't worry about it.
