I cannot reproduce this here, neither in Emacs 24.1 nor in the current
trunk version.

What I did was copy-paste your example to a fresh Emacs session, then
"M-x eval-region RET", then "M-x customize-option RET foo RET" and
click the "Value Menu" to display the menu.  It displayed correctly,
nicely aligned and with no artifacts.
