This issue is still present on fedora 9 at least,
which you can confirm with this command:
printf \tif\n | expand --initial -t4 |
grep -qF $(printf '\t') echo buggy
So it's worth adding a test I think.
cheers,
Pádraig.

Subject: [PATCH] Add expand test for lines starting with both spaces and tabs.
The expand released in current distributions (Fedora Core 4 - Fedora 9
at least), doesn't expand --initial tabs if spaces are present.
tests/misc/expand: Add test to verify --initial works correctly
with lines starting with both spaces and tabs.
