an 0.1 mm difference in the center, between the butts, really wont matter. >true it to get the rim straight<..

Straight pull/direct pull spokes are relatively common in the high end of the bike industry, to the chagrin of many mechanics. They are very easy to order from any major spoke manufacturer, though most shops won't bother trying to stock a run of different straight pull lengths/buttings. Most shops with a spoke cutting/threading machine will probably have some because they can cut them to length. This is not that weird.
