> I checked the documentation before submitting and didn't see anything in the documentation to suggest that using this feature would work differently in the mode line and header line.  The documentation for header-line-format describes it as "analogous to mode-line-format", while the info manual at (elisp) Header Lines says it "works just like the mode line feature".  Perhaps a warning in one of these places that the right-align doesn't work reliably here would be helpful.

From the ELisp manual:

 -- Variable: mode-line-format-right-align
     Anything following this symbol in ‘mode-line-format’ will be
     right-aligned.

It doesn't mention header-line-format.
