Are you setting the tab size via the "Text"/"Tab Size..." setting?

Try the "Options"/"Editor Window"/"Editor Preferences..." menu instead. 
Here you can set the tab size on a per-file-type base.

Note that this setting does not affect currently open files. Also note 
that POV-Ray remembers the tab size of the most recently used files. You 
can wipe out POV-Ray's corresponding memory by deleting the 
HKCU\Software\POV-Ray\v3.6\POV-Edit\Recent\* registry entries. (Not sure 
if you also need to delete the ...\POV-Edit\Older\* and 
...\POV-Edit\Open\* entries.)
