No, they can't; at least, not by the LO Draw UI. The figure is 1/100 of cm - as
noted in <a class="bz_bug_link

title="NEW - Two decimal digits are insufficient for specifying object position and size"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=44267">bug 44267</a>. That is quite unprecise. But no less important that the
actual precision is the fact that it's much less precise than what LO can do
internally, e.g. when aligning shapes.

This is not more of a corner-case than alignment in general - because at least
two and possibly all three of the behaviors I listed are just as desirable. Not
to mention other options, such as:
* Use the left boundary of the first selected object
* Use the left boundary of the last selected object</pre>
