The corruption is not with the display but with the presentation of the headers (should be aligned left).  See the attached image.

The problem is that, when moving the point to the headers view and, say, 
pressing C-a, Emacs becomes *unresponsive*, even C-g does not work — I 
have to kill it.

/CC Dirk-Jan C. Binnema, the author of mu4e, who may be able to give 
more details.

I compiled Emacs from the Git repository and the problem still exists.
