I just checked, and the top of the extrusion is past 90 degrees to the table. It leans "back" a degree or so.
It has not been a problem for me; I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it, and I've had the gauge for a long time. I have not had a need to deal with that as long as the fence was perpendicular to the blade. I think it might only be an issue for me if I my workpiece was tall. But in those instances, I use an auxilliary fence and work to make that fence perpendicular to adjacent surfaces.
I must also say this: I'm not particularly delicate in handling the miter gauge. I move it on and off of the saw many times over the course of a week, and the only dimension I regularly check for square is the the fence to blade axis.
