Thanks for info. I now understand negative indents are also used for
hanging indents. I've tracked the problem down to abi somehow managing to
create "phantom" paragraphs with large negative indents and no left margin
(as there should be for a hanging indent).

I've opened a new bug report with the details:

Thanks for your help,
