          begintikzpicture
          path node(n1)text;
          path[draw,line cap=rect](n1.north east)--(n1.north west);
          % uncomment following line to see gaps clearly
          %path[draw](n1.north west)--(n1.south west);
          endtikzpicture
          enddocument


          enter image description here



          What is going on here? Let's start with



          documentclass[tikz]standalone
          begindocument
          begintikzpicture
          path node[draw](n1)text;
          path[fill=blue](n1.north east) circle[radius=0.1pt]
          (n1.north west)circle[radius=0.1pt];
          path[draw,red](n1.north east)--(n1.north west);
          endtikzpicture
          enddocument


          enter image description here



          This does not have any unnecessary gap. If you uncomment



           path[draw,red](n1.north east)--(n1.north west);


          you get



          enter image description here



          So the gap is there. This is because TikZ is rather "generous" with the bounding box, here it adds the "natural extension" of the line which emerges when you do line cap=rect. Note that the bounding box gets much more "overestimated", see e.g. here. AFAIK there is no built-in way to obtain the exact bounding box.
