Wouldn't that throw off the alignment of the rest of the track in other places
by being a stud off?  Is there a way to get around this?  (I'm thinking
specifically of situations where the entire layout is mounted on baseplates).

No, because the curves don't mount to the baseplates.

As long as the track is elevated at least one plate, it's easy to put
the
curves on the baseplates.  Just use some 1-stud plates (1x1 or 1x2)
and some tiles in places the studs don't line up.

As it pertains to this discussion, if the place where the track is one
stud
apart is not (rectilinearly) aligned with the baseplate, the track might
need
to be elevated two plates so that you can connect the tracks with one
plate
and then put that plate on some 1-stud plates that are on the baseplate.
