No, with variable pitch fonts there is also a problem but it's
a different one.  Basically the rectangle commands operate by pretending
your font is monospaced.  You can see it with the rectangle highlighting
of `C-x SPC` where the "rectangle" won't be very rectangular in the
presence of variable pitch fonts.

For such cases, it's not even clear what The Right Thing™ should be.
