What do you mean, "again"? Have you mentioned that variable in this conversation yet? I've not done anything with that variable, as evidenced by the minimal config I sent. Thus, I take it that the default org setting is non-nil?

I am a bit frustrated by trying to be as clear as I could about the situation with reproducible examples, and then finding out the behavior was apparently obvious, but due to a variable I didn't know existed...

I'll try a fresh pull tomorrow as well as looking at indent-tabs-mode.
