In Fundamental View TABs get lost

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

I have a simple text file of five columns:

 38     /referencemark  =26     U+203B  REFERENCE MARK
 39     /servicemark            =27     U+2120  SERVICE MARK
 40     /musicalnote            =28     U+266A  EIGHTH NOTE
 41     /blank                  =29     U+2422  BLANK SYMBOL
 42     /visiblespace           =2A     U+2423  OPEN BOX

When I save and open it again I have a bit different view:

 34     /centigrade             =22     U+2103  DEGREE CELSIUS
 35     /recipe                 =23     U+211E  PRESCRIPTION TAKE
 36     /Pcircle                =24     U+24C5  CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P
 37     /bigcircle              =25     U+25EF  LARGE CIRCLE
 38     /referencemark          =26     U+203B  REFERENCE MARK
 39     /servicemark            =27     U+2120  SERVICE MARK
 40     /musicalnote            =28     U+266A  EIGHTH NOTE
 41     /blank                  =29     U+2422  BLANK SYMBOL
 42     /visiblespace           =2A     U+2423  OPEN BOX
 43     /bardbl                 =2B     U+2016  DOUBLE VERTICAL LINE
 44     /interrobang            =2C     U+203D  INTERROBANG
 45     /asteriskcentere        =2D     U+2217  ASTERISK OPERATOR
 46     /openbullet             =2E     U+25E6  WHITE BULLET
 47     /onedotenleader         =2F     U+2024  ONE DOT LEADER

This even works when I open a new buffer in a different frame -- which 
uses a different fontset!

This looks like a bug, doesn't it? (Although I can remember that I've 
encountered similiar things already in GNU Emacs 21.3.50!)
