Pages two and three of the PDF do not show this problem.  Comparing pages one and three of the .sla I see that the right-hand text frames have the same width and the same x pos, so I don't know why only page one shows this problem.

That did fix the problem.  I added about a tenth of an inch to the frame width then everything looks fine.  I'll think I'll go with that solution for now.

Also, I see that turning off the "Optical Margins" setting on the frame fixes the problem, too.  However, I think I'll keep that setting on throughout my document, and just adjust this one frame's width.  Not sure if there's a bug causing this.  Maybe I'll file a bug report on it if I don't see anything else that's causing it.  I use 1.5.8svn, but I did see the problem in 1.5.7, too.
