Assume the TAB was intentionally placed, so that a space would have been used
if that was meant instead. Then it was meant to convey meaning. That meaning
could be ‘a longer stretch of white space’, e.g, for obtaining some visual
effect. It cannot be ‘alignment’, because line-breaks in subjects are not
allowed. The use case of not using a space here is to convey that meaning. (I
currently do not see another meaning than ‘a longer stretch of white space’ in
the context of a Subject header.)

If it is ‘a longer stretch of white space’, then using an em-space would be
more appropriate than a normal space.
