I don't have my computer here with ArchiCAD on it so I can't check this out but you might try adding a small perpendicular piece of the 12cm wall to the joint section. You will probably have to put the reference edge of the 25cm wall on the bottom side of your attached drawing and the reference for the 12cm wall on the top.

In similar situations I will kick one wall out from the other by 1/8" (3mm). This is enough for Archicad to recognize a separation and in reality, on the ground such tolerances are necessary when building 2 walls together. In the case of masonry I would probably kick them apart about 1/4" to 1/2" to be safe.
