[xep-support] start-indent acting strange with tables?

I am trying to convert an XSL-FO document that I've been working with in Apache's FOP engine so that it works with XEP. Most of the FO is working as I expect, but I've noted that indentation seems to be off when I try to indent a table.

My FO content for the table is below. I've sent the start-indent and end-indent properties to .5 inches. However, it appears like I'm getting an indentation of at least an inch, if not more. Playing around with the settings seems to show consistency: Setting the indentation to 1 inch seems to indent by at least 2. Setting it to 2 inches seems to indent by at least 4, etc.

This same start-indent setting works fine when applied to an fo:block element in the same document. Is there something special about indenting tables that I'm missing?

Thanks,
