The -t feature is not technically about rejecting all code that mixes tabs and spaces.  It is only about detecting code that mixes tabs and spaces IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE TAB SIZE AFFECTS THE VALIDITY OR MEANING OF THE CODE.

The sample program is only invalid if the tab size is >= 12 (or zero).

I don't think we should care about people who set their tab size > 8 -- realistically what people do is set it to values <= 8 (but >= 1), and their mistakes will be adequately caught.
