It's not a "bug".  Lines that begin with whitespace are preformatted
text -- this is by design.  Tabs are whitespace.

If anything, you simply want it to do something different than it
currently does.  If we can figure out what that "something different" 
should be (in a way that makes sense with various other requirements), 
then we can change it.
