So the test code in question indents "properly" in emacs -nw (at least
with this terminal).

I guess there's not really anything we can do further on the Emacs side
here: When source code contains characters that use many fonts, the
indentation will look visually different for different people on
different systems, and there isn't much we can do about that.  So I'm
therefore closing this bug report.
