Update:
1) I tried adding a compound padding-start property to the
block-container, with .conditionality="retain". Thought that might
have something to do with it. This made absolutely zero difference.
2) I tried forcing a "margin=0pt" on the inner block. Wonder of
wonders, the left edge of the nested block's border (blue) appeared.
That was the only difference, though.
So then, I'm still foundering in a sea of cluelessness.
