I thought that too.
but my layout software did the pad in one go, and then did a "negative"
hole.
of course the plotter has no negative color. when printing with the laser
it works fine...

Drilling in the center works, but it is easier with the guiding hole for
me.

It looked on the images like there is a short with pad and track between
pads?
