It's actually written into the fitting guide for the Baggs system that Gibson uses in many models, Baggs even stress the importance of shaping a slight angle into the bottom of the saddle to allow for the lean. I know it seems contrary to what any luthier says about saddles, but it does look like they do it intentionally.
