If it is bolted on, then the tenon that slides between the ways might need adjustment. If it is cast into the headstock housing, then I wonder about the casting, if there was a flaw in that part that caused some premature wear. Highly unusual issue, I think.
Does the misalignment happen only on lockdown of the tailstock? If that is the case, then you might have flexing of the mechanism that locks the tailstock to keep it from moving......new lockdown bar, bushing and slide should fix that issue.
