That link is set to display block - which is why I don't understand why it's not behaving as expected. The only link that is set to display: inline is the text link: "E7Flux". Explanation of My Approach: Funny enough, your suggestion is what I started out with, just an image with a link but since I had the text aligned right, because "Powered by E7Flux" was all I had at first in the footer, the image then got text aligned to the right. So I decided to place the image as a background in the link and float it left. As soon as I did that - the text-indent was no longer behaving as expected. I removed the float to see if that would set things back and it didn't. And because the above links w images in their backgrounds had no issues, I then decided to mimic the way I had it set up in that case but, obviously that hasn't solved the issue either.
