Many editors automatically remove (or can be set to remove) all
tabs (which is normally the best thing to do).  Textpad can be
configured to change these rules with file extension, and so I set
it to retain tabs on files with no extension (e.g. makefiles). 
The OP may well be installing tabs that are removed on write-out. 
A hex file display (such as you can get from Buergs 'list') will
show it up.

fix (vb.): 1. to paper over, obscure, hide from public view; 2.
to work around, in a way that produces unintended consequences
that are worse than the original problem.  Usage: "Windows ME
fixes many of the shortcomings of Windows 98 SE". - Hutchison
