That's clear enough. The trailing spaces interact badly with 'r'
justification. Similarly, leading spaces would produce a visible
glitch with 'l' justification.
But trailing spaces should be safe with 'l' justification (and
leading spaces with 'r') except in the odd circumstance that
the spaces happen to extend past the tab point due to some
wacky point-size change. I think.
If you know of a counterxample to this, I am willing to be instructed.
