Bastien,

I've had a chance to look into this again today, and I've found something
that might help you track down the bug (if it is a bug).

I've found that when I use this capture template:

("L" "reference" entry (*file+headline* "~/code/org/reference.org" "Test")
"* %^{Description} %^G \n%? \n %U" :prepend)

tags get aligned properly.  However, not so with this one, which differs
only with respect to the target parameter (file+headline vs. file):

("L" "reference" entry (*file* "~/code/org/reference.org")
"* %^{Description} %^G \n%? \n %U" :prepend)

Hope this is helpful and not just distracting.

Best,
Mark
