This effect is due to indent inheritance, as I call it. I've documented the
whole topic on our Wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/IndentInheritance
In contrast to many commercial implementations we've chosen to closely follow
the specification which, unfortunately, may have certain side-effects. The
specialist group at the W3C is aware of the issue. There are two solutions here:
1. Spec-conformant solution: margins are mapped to the start-indent and
end-indent properties. The latter two properties are inherited. If you cross a
reference area boundary you will the see the effect you describe unless you
reset start-indent and end-indent to 0. For a table, this can conventiently be
done on the table-body, so it fans out to all child elements. For more detail,
please see the Wiki page indicated above.
2. Non-spec-conformant solution: I've recently added an option to FOP that lets
you activate an alternative set of rules concerning indent inheritance. These
rules try to mimic the behaviour implemented by some commercial FO
implementations. With these rules enabled you don't get the strange side-effect
as long as you work with margins only because the margins are not automatically
propagated to the start-indent and end-indent properties. Documentation on how
to turn this on will be available shortly. I've already written it, but it's not
yet published. The fix for that is found in FOP Trunk (available via SVN only).
Please note that enabling this feature makes FOP behave differently from what
the specification says it should do. I've recently asked the W3C SG about their
updated opinion on the matter:
