I tracked back through the history of the code, and that part has been
there since the code was introduced as far as I can tell.

Can you define "correctly"? When I remove the addition, it displays
'correctly' from what I expect: a tab always indents the text to the
next visual column that's a multiple of 8.
The current behavior ensures that the same tab always expands to the
same number of space characters regardless of where the line wraps,
but I don't see any reason why this behavior is desirable in the
presence of `word-wrap'.
