this is exactly what I expect from both POSIX and pr(1) so far.

However:

Where did the tab after the -o come from?
Where did the tab after the numbers go?
Where did the three spaces after the numbers come from?

Correct output for the page body is, naturally,
  "        1^Ia^Ib$"
   oooonnnnn()
resp. for each line.

Same happens in just -m mode (but with more shit between the columns).
Same happens in normal columnation
(but much worse, and only on the numbers for the first column):
