Yes, the gun was intentionally installed that way. It needs an ion trap or "beam bender" to function properly.

The ion trap is used to pull the electron beam back on-axis, while the heavier ions shoot harmlessly into the inside walls of the tube.

Ion traps were also known as beam benders, for what are now obvious reasons.
