This comes from tabular. There must be a glue somewhere to correct that.

Replacing your tabular by a halign leads to the grid-alignment you seem
to be waiting for

\tabskip1.5em
\halign{#&\hbox to 47bp#\cr
248.358.4420& office\cr
123.456.7891& direct\cr
123.456.7892& cell\cr
248.358.1969& fax\cr
}

Something like that?
(\usepackage{array})
\begin{tabular}{ >{\flushright} p{47bp}}
