Ah, that's an easy one: 2pt

Margin is a shorthand property, it sets four properties at once. The
above actually means:

    whatever {margin-left:2em}
    whatever {margin-top:2pt}
    whatever {margin-right:2pt}
    whatever {margin-bottom:2pt}
    whatever {margin-left:2pt}

So the first 'margin-left' is lost because the last one takes
precedence.
