hmm - it's not clear from your example, since the line with 'b' contains
tabs and the line with 'a' does not.  When I first viewed this message,
'a' and 'b' were in the same column (which would appear correct, though
the trailing non-breakable spaces might be colored differently from the
background).

either way, it's probably an oversight...
