I'm afraid you've stepped into the indent-inheritance trap. The whole topic
about indent inheritance is explained here:
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/IndentInheritance

For readers in a hurry: Simply reset start-indent and end-indent on the
fo:table-body (and table-header/footer if necessary) element. A table creates
reference areas and that's why it can appear that indents are applied twice. So,
no, it's not a bug. The XSL-FO spec is a little peculiar in this aspect. Some
commercial implementors have chosen a different path (which we support, too: see
"break-indent-inheritance" in [1]) but it breaks the spec and therefore
shouldn't be used in the interest of long-term interoperability.
