> P.S. Curiously, the "Diff2" format on tools.ietf.org [https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=rfc7386] shows the indentation as being correct in rfc7386.txt and draft-ietf-appsawg-json-merge-patch-07. Probably a tools glitch.

This looks like the canonical tab-width confusion.
The correct text had a tab-width of 8, but the RFC text was converted to spaces applying a tab-width of 4.

Yep, the copy of rfc7386.xml I have has been tabified, while draft-ietf-appsawg-json-merge-patch-07.xml is clean.

NEVER, EVER, tabify documents.
THROW OUT ALL TOOLS THAT DO THIS.
(Sorry for shouting, but this TAB nonsense has cost too much time in my life already.)
