Clarification:
As observed in OOo 3.0.0 build 9358 on WinXP -

- the issue is present in all units of measurement (cm, in, pica, pt)

- it is best described as a difference in calculating pixel distances and hence
positions between ruler markings and default tab stop markings

- there is cumulative difference for multiple default tab stops (i.e. the
smaller the default tab space, the more difference can be observed over a given
ruler distance)

- the effect varies with small variations of zoom factor: changing the zoom
factor in small steps makes the misalignment jump between positive, negative and
none at all (or not perceivable?)

- For easy observation, set a zoom factor of several hundred percent (to make
changes of 5 percent less significant wrt the viewable area), scroll sideways
near the trailing edge of the text area to take advantage of the cumulative
effect (I'm just assuming about right-to-left here, didn't test that), set
yourself to watch a default tab stop mark near a ruler subdivision mark
(preferably one that should be perfectly aligned with it, according to the
specified tab space) and repeatedly click the (+) and (-) buttons near the zoom
factor slider. Expected behaviour would be for the marks to keep their alignment
regardless of zoom factor (keeping any difference to scale, which should not be
a noticeable change under the above conditions), in fact they "jump around" each
other.
