I managed to reproduce this in Emacs 28 even without indent-tabs-mode,
but it was fixed in Emacs 29 in c825c825256475ac5c74882811a44228140f18ee
by changing the help-key-binding face to draw a thinner box.
1b30b4dbc0dcaac02e5a15ff53da476e4680aced actually adds a comment
describing exactly this issue and how the previous change fixed it :)

So this can be closed.
