I believe you are mistaken -- or that you are using an old version of perldoc.

http://api.metacpan.org/source/MALLEN/Pod-Perldoc-3.17/lib/perldoc.pod

The SYNOPSIS contents are indented.  Someone earlier in the thread noted that
this has not always been the case.

The pod2_ programs seem blameless, here.
