I would say it is more than a possible bug.  how about a definite bug.
I have discovered something similar with trying to use labelled
paragraphs by moving the left margin to the right of the indent marker.
(This is the effect achieved by .LP in the -ms macros.)  Everything
is fine until I turn on full justification.  Then the characters
to the left of the left margin don't print.  (I have not tried different
print qualities.)  One time they also disappeared on the screen.  When
I moved to that point and typed an additional character, all the characters
appeared momentarily and then disappeared.  The justification step seemed
to blank over them.  When I go back to left justification, everything
reappears correctly.  Coupling this with the observations from the above
article, it appears that there are serious bugs in full justification mode
in MacWrite.
