It doesn't necessarily cause the brake to cam over, but doesn't prevent it either. I agree that the job calls for a bushing (drill out a recessed nut) or washer that pockets well in the counter bore to bring the nut beyond the fork's face, and ensure stability.
Make do is OK when there's n o choice, but when doing it right is so easy, there's no excuse not to.
