No - it's working correctly, but there's a point about XSLT that you're 
missing.

XSLT has whitespace stripping rules.  By default, any text node in the 
stylesheet that consists entirely of whitespace is stripped, unless it is a 
child of an <xsl:text> element.  In this case, the content of the 
<fo:inline> is only whitespace, so it is stripped.  If you run this XSLT on 
its own, you will see that the output document has <fo:inline 
white-space-collapse="false"></fo:inline> in it.

See §3.4 of XSLT.  In your stylesheet, do something like

<fo:inline white-space-collapse="false">
   <xsl:text>        </xsl:text>
</fo:inline>
