Just so I'm clear: HBLANK is 25 cycles long and starts at the beginning of each line, or the end of each line? Also, what is the video scanner picking up during that time?  Say that 0 is an offset relative to the leftmost byte on a row -- would it be -25, 0 or 40?  Money munchers seems to look **perfect** when I assume HBLANK starts at 0 on the current line.

You could look at the "Understandig the Apple II" book by Jim Sather,
which can be found online as a PDF. It explains the scanner in every
detail including those you asked for, at least for the old II/II+
machines. No idea whether the IIe has any marked differences here.
