Actually, this bug is not that easy. I was also quite annoyed by this a while 
ago, and started looking at it, but I ran into dead ends. This is one of the 
things that makes my orchestral scores not look quite as professional as they 
could be. Otherwise I would have submitted a patch already, but the problem is 
simply over my head.

BTW, there is an even worse aspect to this bug: If there are multimeasure 
rests following the tempo mark, the mark is even further to the right. This is 
only the case if a clef/time/key signature happens at that time, too.

Example file is attached.

Cheers,
Reinhold
