Philip Avonds is a well know championship builder and he says that the squared off TE is intentional so as to reduce flutter. I discovered this when building one of his F-104 kits. There is no other plane out there that deserves a feather edge more than the starfighter, but he insist it is not a good idea to have feathered TE's
