hi! i'll probably look at fixing this in 20% time soon if no one else gets to it first.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

in emacs, run M-x compile and enter "go test" to run a go unit test that fails.

What is the expected output?
What do you see instead?

the failure detail line has a tab at the beginning, which confuses emacs's compile-mode
output parsing. for example:

    app_test.go:32: /generate?... 400 Bad value '' for parameter handles

C-x ` or M-x next-error can't find this. if you remove the tab from the beginning, then
it works.

this is using go-mode.el from dc5e410f0b4c weekly/weekly.2012-03-27, gnu emacs 23.2.1,
goobuntu 10.04.
