It seems that what you were saying was to increase the value of the default tabstop. Changing anything there just made things worse. So I tried the opposite direction. I set the default tabstop to the smallest amount I could get it to take-- 0.20"-- and it still did not correct the problem for the third item of the first level (III.). It did help some other levels, but that one could not be fixed.
Furthermore, I cannot entirely understand the logic of having the outline defined by, or influenced by, the default tabstop. It seems intuitive to me that one would modify tab settings within Bullets and Numbering and would expect this to override the default tabstop.
That being said, even if it's not a bug, I don't think it makes much sense, and I would request a change from this behavior.
