I've recently seen short lines and arcs get exploded in the lesstif

According to the documentation, "clearance" is the amount added to the
thickness of the line, so a 10 mil clearance should result in a 5 mil
gap on each side of the line.  At least, that's what the file format
spec says.

Have you tried running the optimizer after autorouting?
