Never heard of this myself - and many airports will have bits of airport infrastructure on both sides of the taxiway.
It used to be the norm for the painted centreline and lights to be aligned (i.e. both centred on the same route)...until someone spotted that off-setting the line by a few centimetres would make it much easier to re-paint the line and help to avoid getting paint all over the light pots. I don't think I've seen a line that isn't off-set for years.
