No, they aren't aligned flush right, the above example looks exactly
like the according part of an org file - I did not copy/paste it.

Same here, the tags end or start at column 90, but it *looks*
inconsistent. If I put the cursor behind `:holiday:' the column number
is 90, and if I put it behind `:schreiben:' it's 90, too.
If you look at the above example you wouldn't expect this.
