Yes, I was wrong about margin. There are no margin properties for fo:leader.
I found 'start-intent' too, but it won't work. Here's one test I did:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
  <fo:layout-master-set>
    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="test">
      <fo:region-body margin="20mm" border="0.25mm solid silver"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>
  </fo:layout-master-set>
  <fo:page-sequence master-reference="test">
    <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
      <fo:block >
        <fo:leader
          leader-pattern="rule"
          leader-length="100%"
          rule-thickness="0.25mm"
          start-indent="15mm"/>
      </fo:block>
    </fo:flow>
  </fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

The leader spans the full width of the body region, as if 'start-indent' has
no effect.
