I am by no means an expert, but I question this "confirming".

Yes, full-width punctuation marks will have empty space when placed at the
beginning of a line and look misaligned like in reporter's screenshot.  However
this is likely due to the design of the font used, as most fonts define the
width of full-width punctuation marks as the same as the width of square-shaped
glyphs, and don't have proper metadata (kerning?) to automatically adjust glyph
position based on its position in a line/paragraph.  Moreover, for different
fonts, this "empty space" may well be very different.

I personally don't think this is a problem LibreOffice can solve.  Nor should
it try.
