New submission from Chris Tozer:

Two lines, one has three spaces, one has two spaces then a tab - dedent doesn't 
take the two spaces away...

Python 2.7.5 (default, Nov 20 2015, 02:00:19) 
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from textwrap import dedent
>>> dedent("   some\n  \tthing")
'   some\n  \tthing'
>>> dedent("   some\n   \tthing")
'some\n\tthing'

Looks very similar to issue 21827, but having upgraded to a newer build of 2.7 
(Nov 2015, as above), I still see the same behaviour.  I assume the November 
build would have a fix made in October, but I don't know how the process 
actually works...
