Difference in 8.4/8.5 text widget - Bug or Feature

I've just noticed a difference in the behaviour between the 8.4 and 8.5
versions of the text widget.

The following code shows the "issue":-

#==(Start of example code)==#
text .t \
-height 10 \
-width 40 \
-wrap word \
-tabs {0.5c 1c 1.5c 2c 2.5c 3.0c 3.5c 4.0c 4.5c 5.0c 5.5c 6.0c}

pack .t

# Say I want to indent to the 6th tab...

set indent "[expr {6 * 0.5}]c"

..t tag configure indented -lmargin1 $indent -lmargin2 $indent

..t insert end "LEFT TEXT"
..t insert end "\t\t\t\t\t\tThis is some text which should be wrapped to
an indent" indented
#==(End of example code)==#

When using 8.5 (tclkit), the text begining "This is some text..." is
displaced to the right when compared to 8.4. Obviously I prefer the
8.4 version because my existing code works fine!!

Is this a bug or a "feature?"

Many Thanks,
