The glyphs are wider than the glyphs in the mono font specified with 'set guifont', and so the cursor doesn't align properly with the glyphs. The buffer has a mixture of Roman character glyphs (from the mono font) and wider hiragana glyphs (from who-knows-where).

Do you have a specific sequence of glyphs to help us reproduce your
issue? I have tried mixing Latin with 0x3072 and 0x3073 (e.g.,
xひyびwひzび), but what I see is that upon moving over such strings
the cursor becomes as wide (or as narrow) as the underlying character.
So, I do not understand what "the cursor doesn't align properly with the
glyphs" means. To me, it looks aligned.

Btw, have you played with "Use Core Text Renderer" in the Preferences?
Try setting/unsetting the option, then open a new document window.

You might also check ':help ambiwidth'.

Life.
