Hello Alan, I have found a fix that produces a consistent indent
(although with a 5 space indent instead of 4.)  It is commited as
git commit 9a5b20e.  Please let us know if it suits your purposes.
(I can't say I completely understand the code, though, and what the
role of 'text_element_context' exactly is.)

I recommended using Texinfo constructs in a more conventional way, however.
