Your message had odd whitespace, but I think we're seeing the same thing:

foo1() { date; time -p emacs -Q -L . --batch \
		    --eval "(message (emacs-version))"
}

And that looks like the correct indentation to me?  That is, we indent
after the "time" on the previous line.

What indentation did you expect to get?
