Thank you gentlemen. Everything appears to work as expected on Emacs 
from master, 28.0.50 on macOS 10.13.6.

Can I work on the assumption this commit will be included in `(<= 28 
emacs-major-version)'?

Is there likely to be any workaround or alternate approach to make a 
string display similarly aligned in the left display margin in Emacs < 
28? I'm trying to keep as much functionality as possible all the way 
back to 24.4.

(Btw I am off-list, if you can reply-all I would much appreciate it!)
