The actual issue seems to be that in some cases the left delimiter for
the State column is not printed

Much worse, we always print the left delimiter of the last buffered
column, which is usually empty. My bad.

The issue is not so visible in general as we almost always have spaces
to distribute around, but not if you start going below 70/75 columns.
Can you try this?
