Thanks, added the following as figured-bass-extender-align.ly  in the bug 
repository:

%
%Liang Seng
\version "2.7.18"
\layout {raggedright=##t}
\header {
  texidoc = "If + is added to the right of a figured bass, the right line of 
extenders are misaligned."
}
\new FiguredBass \figuremode {
  \set useBassFigureExtenders = ##t
  \set figuredBassAlterationDirection = #1
  \set figuredBassPlusDirection = #1
  <3+ 5> <3+ 5>
}

2.7.19, or apply the following patch:
