Rather than having a chamfer corner for the assembly pin 1 polarity marker. 

Add a Dot on the assembly layer with required parameters to change the size, height text, line width.

Some inductors have a dot on their bodies to indicate polarity. That's how I mark it in my footprints. I do this using the Drawing Elements - Symbol/Shapes tool (icon). If this were to be automated, it would also be helpful to have control over the dot's position.
