Never encountered that, it may be a peculiarity of your setup.

I use the RT::Client::REST and never have to do this, and it is not done within
the library itself either. Furthermore, the REST interface simply takes in the
same style forms as the CLI, which are exposed online via the "Offline Edit"
tool, and this requires no leading whitespace for multi-line data. Instead, the
form acts more like a HEREDOC.
