If you're not the first to notice this, and certainly to ask it, I'd be surprised. In the context of the tail, I don't think it matters either. Those are four members of a plywood skinned box, so they are fairly minor players, and likely oversized for the job anyway. Other places can be different, such as grain direction in a block or gusset where you intend to bolt something structural like your shoulder harness, which is what I'm in the middle of doing right now...
