taco and i looked into this
it has to do with the fact that the intercharacter spacing has more
stretch than the leftskip and since raggedright is achieved differently
from raggedleft, there is no easy solution; we could make raggedright
behave like raggedleft but that would influence hyphenation too much
however, there is a way out ...

some time in the future we can think of language specific defaults, like
\let\raggedleft\veryraggedleft
\let\raggedleft\veryraggedright
for chinese but first we need to investigate to what extend we need such
language specific defaults
adapting the leftskip node in the nodelist is also an option, but that
might have unwanted side effects so best is to keep it under user control
make sure to wikify this ...
