Thanks.

Unfortunately, it means the current behavior is not a bug, but rather
an unintended consequence of another bugfix.  The above changeset
changed :align-to to count from the beginning of the physical line,
not the screen line.  So, for example, if you have an 80-column line,
the continuation line begins from column 80, not 0.  Thus, something
like ':align-to 4' will never work on continuation lines, because we
got past column 4 long ago...

So I need to think whether and how to restore the capability of using
:align-to in wrap-prefix.
