I believe that the correct way of handling this would be to display both users as being in 10th place, and move the red bar down.

It's irritating. However, I'm not going to fix this until I fix it properly; the most important open issue being where to place the red line if there's a tie in 10 or 11, and who to place in 10. I want the cutoff line to be accurate, so I want to use the same logic SE would use for breaking the tie. However, nobody really know what the criteria are: http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/74583?m=22711594#22711594

I may do something yet, but for now I'm not touching it until the correct solution is known.
