Correct.

That would be due to this issue right here: 

Notice the extra row of polys just above/to the side of the G2 female's breast on the left (right in the pic) along with the collapsed edge in the breast. This isn't present on the right side (left in the pic). This makes mirroring morphs impossible. Somehow the geometry was collapsed, or just built wrong to begin with, and nobody noticed it. Or if they did notice it, it was too late to correct it before release. Maybe due to all the other work that had already been done would have to be undone in order to fix it. I don't know, but it should never have been released this way. 

I had thought before that it was only in Sydney, (because she has issues with her rig that Jessi doesn't have), but it's in Jessi too. I don't have Olivia, but I can assume that she has the same problem. There may be other geometry issues with them that I haven't spotted yet, but so far this is the only one. It's enough to break any symmetry regardless.

ETA: Actually it would be an easy fix as it's just a couple edges that need extending, and uncollapse the one edge in the breast. It wouldn't affect the rig. So yeah, don't know why it wasn't fixed. It would affect any morphs that were built, and would have to be rebuilt. At the time the G2 figures were created, it was much more difficult to redo morphs as there was no software available to project morphs onto a mesh like there is now. So maybe that's why.
