I know this question cannot be answered straight-forwardly. I'd say block 
selection should work visually, i. e. the selection is a rectangle on screen, 
even if the physical columns are shifted due to tabs. However, I don't know 
how *insertion* should be treated if the target lines already contain tabs 
and if the insertion is done at a different column such that the tabs 
contained in the selection are expanded to a different length.

Concluding, I wouldn't say 100%, but 99.999% :-)
