v2.1.0 beta 2 win64

Object is symmetrical but detected overhang is not. This is not the only object with the same issue.

Is it possible that the object is not perfectly flat on the bed?

That is caused by elephant foot compensation. It can end up decimating geometry. I do wonder how doing an X-Y scale on the first layer is causing this specific result. If you use an even rotation value ie 314 is does get a lot better but not perfect.
I also wonder if the elephant foot compensation is calculated after local rotation is applied or before. Doing a X-Y scale before or after can have very different results.

Can confirm, I've seen this too. Elephant foot compensation does some really weird things to geometry. See #2502 for another example.

The elephant foot compensation improvements are part of PrusaSlicer 2.2.0-alpha2. Closing.
