After some time away from this bug, I've made a new version of this 
patch which uses ':align-to' to line up the wrapped lines. All of the 
text properties in this patch use widths defined in terms of the average 
width for the current face (using a spec like "(N . width)"), which I 
think should work correctly in all situations.

I've also set the min-width of the first-line prefix to ensure 
everything lines up just right. That makes it easier to line things up 
this way, rather than my previous brittle attempts at computing the 
exact pixel width of the first-line prefix (that width can change for 
all sorts of reasons).

Also attached is a test script I wrote to preview the effects of the 
patch. If you pass an additional numeric argument on the command line 
when loading it, it will set 'visual-wrap-extra-indent' so you can see 
how that affects things.
