Pseudo-selectors, like :first-letter, are an interesting case. Even if Sass
didn't use the beginning colon as an identifier for an attribute, the
selector you'd end up getting would be "p :first-letter", which isn't what
you want.
There's a way to deal with this nicely, though. In trunk, you can use the
ampersand character (&) to control exactly how the parent is used in the
selector. The ampersand is literally replaced with the parent element. Your
example, then, would be:
p
:text-align justify
&:first-letter
:margin-left 1em
Hope that helps!
