I suspect that's just the overlay of the boundary map over the aerial photography. There's a note on the "title plan" page of the Land Registry site that talks about boundaries and how not everything on the register has any boundary information. I'm sure I've seen another note that says the land register can't be used to settle boundary disputes, but I can't find it now.

The reasons why are explained in this practice guide -

It identifies my house as a mid-terrace when it's a semi with a detached bungalow to the other side.

Is that site actually the Land Registry?

If they bought recently are their deeds available online? Are your deeds available online?  Can you ask to see their deeds explaining you're concerned future buyers will dispute incorrect boundaries when either of you sell so you both need to confirm the location of the fence before work starts. Don't be fooled by "We'll put it here for now and change it if its wrong".
Talk to them in person, not by text. You're supposed to be neighbours.

No it isn't - but it has a mapping functionality that I find easier for a quick check than the official site.
