So I still reproduce as described: double-click on column header boundary
results in an optimal width of minimal + 2 mm.

The same happens in OOo 3.3.

It's true the documentation doesn't say the two actions (dialog or double-click
boundary) are disconnected:
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/scalc/01/05040200.html

UX/Design team, is this expected, or should the double-click use the latest
"Add" value? In my opinion, it makes sense to make uniform, and allow users to
set the Add value to then directly reuse it with the faster double-click
method.
