So you 2x2 brush is actually a fuzzy 2x2 circle which is thresholded.
This said you can always configure an offset in the grid.
The pencil tool does not have anti aliasing feature.
I had forgotten that the 1. Pixel brush always operates as an odd number of pixels square - so a size of 2 gives a 3 x 3 square.
To use the pencil tool to paint 2x2 solid squares:
Select the "1. Pixel" brush for the pencil tool
Zoom in so that you can see individual pixels
Click in the 4 pixels to make the square
Use the Rectangle Select tool to select the 4-pixel square
Press Ctrl-C
"Select/None" (this is important otherwise you will think that the new brush has no effect)
"Edit/Paste as/New Brush..."
Give the brush a suitable name (and a suitable file name)
Set spacing to 1
Click "OK"
Select the Pencil tool, set the size to 2 and you can paint 2x2 square blocks.
