As far as I know, this doesn't happen in Emacs, unless you specify it
explicitly (i.e. in some hook).

I'd say yes.

You may have noticed that exporters already treat that line as
fixed-width section anyway. But this is inconsistent with fontification
(and indentation) in the buffer.

I've pushed a commit to fix this inconsistency in master.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks for clearing this up, I've also updated the Org::Parser Perl module.
