In some cases the indentation of second-level items is wrong: only a few pixels to the right instead of the specified number (usually 16). You can see a screenshot here; note that the bottom two items are too far to the left:

I could be wrong of course but I suspect this has something to do with the outline view assuming the first level being "heading items". I dont know if there's a term for those items, basically what "Devices" is in Finder. The indentation in your screen shot exactly matches the indentation of the second level in Finder and my own source list.

I'm sure you have your reasons not to use those source list "heading" items but perhaps source list mode is not designed to handle this case.
