As I understand RFC 2045, you are only supposed to encode tabs and
spaces if they are at the *end* of the line. Not when they occur
at the beginning or middle of the line.
If you read through the code of MIME::QuotedPrint you will see
that tabs and spaces get special treatment. They are only translated
when they match this regex:
/([ \t]+)$/
which is what I understand to be the intent of RFC 2045 rule 3.
So I guess the answer to your question is "yes and no".
For the record, my feeble understanding of the RFC does not come
close to the expertise of the author of the module, Gisle Aas. He
has written a lot of important Perl modules, and he continues to
work hard on improving them. If you feel that you have something
to add, you should contact him and explain your point. He is a very
receptive guy.
