In the first map, the yellow line should follow the street curve, however if you pan the map up-down, you clearly see the misalignment due to what ? Different projection used by the oblique imagery ?

The same line, on a normal Google Maps integration (second map) is rendered "normal"

How can the misalignment in the first map be fixed ?

You can switch the perspective imagery off, just add this code to your fiddle after the google layer is added to the map:
