I don't think it's a HTML/CSS issue: if you look at the produced HTML, you see
respectively 3 whitespaces (or 6 or 9) in front of every line of the code
block.

That is: the "indentation" whitespaces in your Org buffer are copied over to
HTML. And, as the code blocks are now correctly indented under their parent
item, the leading whitespaces are further indenting the code blocks.

So, for me, there should be no extra whitespace added to the code block in the
PRE tags.

OK.
