Just a guess...
I think this is what's going on, and my plan is to file a smidge off the top of the non-drive side dropout. As you point out, it won't take much, and I don't think it will compromise the integrity. At least not enough to matter for the way I ride.
[Aside from it being a 'Ted Williams' what kind of rame are we dealing with?]
This is one of the 531 Ted Williams bikes made for Sears by Puch. It's been an interesting ride and I haven't been on the bike yet.
