Hi
This is a template taken from a working application. The resulting text (a
table of contents) is exactly as required (and as required by Patrick) when
rendered by FOP 0.20.5. Alignment was bad when rendered by earlier versions of
FOP.
<xsl:template match="meeting" mode="toc">
<fo:block text-align-last="justify" padding="5mm">
<fo:inline>
<xsl:value-of select="location/title"/>
<fo:leader leader-pattern="dots"/>
<fo:page-number-citation ref-id="{generate-id(location/title)}"/>
</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

As I understand, behaviour of the fo:leader is very vaguely described in the
spec, and apart from that, the FOP compliance page,
http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-object-leader, indicates only
partial support for this object.
What definitely works, are fixed-length leaders and leaders aligned
according to the settings of the reference area (mostly: the surrounding
fo:block).
The latter _seems_ a good choice in combination with text-align="justify"
and text-align-last="justify", but from my experience, it can only be used
in practice to create layouts like this:
<fo:block text-align="justify" text-align-last="justify">
<fo:inline>line1</fo:inline>
<fo:leader leader-pattern="dots" leader-pattern-width="3pt"
leader-alignment="reference-area" />
</fo:block>
<fo:block text-align="justify" text-align-last="justify">
<fo:inline>line2withlongername</fo:inline>
<fo:leader leader-pattern="dots" leader-pattern-width="3pt"
leader-alignment="reference-area" />
</fo:block>
would yield
line1 .........................
line2withlongername ...........
If you add another fo:inline to the above fo:blocks, the fo:leader will
expand to fill the line and the last fo:inline will end up on a new line.
AFAIK there is currently no workaround to achieve the particular effect
you're seeking.
Maybe someone else has an idea?
Greetz,
Andreas
