As far as I can see, this does not really work since it does not
maintain an idea of a current column.

If you have

abcd<four spaces><tab><four spaces><tab>

then indeed the resulting conversion needs to be <tab><tab><tab>
whereas with

abc<four spaces><tab><four spaces><tab>

the resulting conversion needs to be just <tab><tab>

Note that this code *only* handles whitespace in the initial indent;
processing stops as soon as it hits anything other than a tab or an
indent.

Given that, I believe the proposed patch is correct.  Am I missing
something else?

Don't think so.  Sorry for the noise.
