Why do these two lines have a leading space,

but this one doesn't?  It must be an off-by-one corner case when your
choice of space to wrap on is exactly at the wrap column.

Where's theh :param docs for the 6 custom glyphs?

Always nice when someone else has written the cool library function to
do all the hard work for you ;)  But this is probably where you have the off-by-one I called out above.
