It's not possible. At least it wasn't the last time I looked at the
source code (f_foldtext() in eval.c). The routine that calls the
'foldtext' function replaces each tab in the returned string by a
space. Here's what I did at the time to get the indentation I
wanted. Using the repeat() function would simplify this, but it
wasn't available at the time.
function! MyFoldText()
let n = v:foldend - v:foldstart + 1
let i = indent(v:foldstart)
let istr = ''
while i > 0
let istr = istr . ' '
let i = i - 1
endwhile
return istr . "+-" . v:folddashes . " " . n . " lines "
endfunction
