(I'll pretend to be Vit)

That is because in that case, it expands to  \hskip -.52.5pt

Try this:

   \unprotected
   \def\doalinealijn#1#2%
     {\doifelsevalue{\??al#2\the\alteller\c!rule}\v!on
       {\dimen2=#1\relax
        \dimen4=\getvalue{\??al#2\the\alteller\c!rulethickness}% VZ
        \hskip.5\dimen2
        \hskip-.5\dimen4 % TH
        \vrule\!!width\dimen4 % TH
        \hskip-.5\dimen4 % TH
        \hskip.5\dimen2}
       {\hskip#1}}

Cheers, Taco
