Unexpand --all of <7 printables, 2-8 spaces, tab, word> loses a tab.

perl -lwe 'print 1234567, " " x $_, "\t$_" for (1..9)' | unexpand --all
-->
1234567 	1
1234567	2
1234567	3
1234567	4
1234567	5
1234567	6
1234567	7
1234567	8
1234567			9

Coreutils-8.12.  Old bug, has existed at least since version 6.8.
