Well, we would have to see the whole system to know exactly, but I
would say that this is as good as Finale can do with a measure of
that width. If you give it a little more width, then Finale won't be
forced into collisions. You can't expect the basic spacing algorithm
that Finale uses to change sixteenth note spacing through the measure.
Now, there are some things you mentioned that might affect it. You
said this same figure (I assume with accidentals) later had no
problem (I assume the same measure width) then the measure might be
corrupt (yes, that happens a lot). Copy the contents to another
measure somewhere else, delete the entire measure stack, insert a new
measure, and copy the contents back. Maybe include a measure on
either side to make sure you excised the bad stuff. If you open the
Edit Frame and compare it to the other identical measure you might
find something checked by accident (gamma radiation or just scrambled
Finale brains.)
One thing to try before this, however. I sometimes get extraneous
beat markers, and if I space it using Beat Spacing (metatool 3) then
Note Spacing, (metatool 4) this sometimes helps.

you will notice the bad spacing between notes 2 and 3. Apart from
manually adjusting the third or second notes using the appropriate
Special Tool, the normal Music Spacing options have no effect.
Has anyone else run into this?
"Avoid collision of notes and accidentals" is checked in the Music
Spacing options.
The spacing is being applied to this particular part only, i.e.
there are no other staves affecting the spacing. The other bars in
the part have no problems with spacing, even the same figure in
later bars have no clashes, so it's not that the spacing is
generally squishy.
