I doubt that giving feedback on where options are stored
a) is of practical use,
b) can be done unobtrusively,
c) would be possible with a reasonable amount of work.

Regarding a) I said, _all_ options that are relevant to reproduce the layout
pixel-perfect cross-platform and cross-application are stored in the document.
The tab stop is such a value while the unit is not. We may have bugs here.

In respect to b) it might be a different color for the label or a small
icon/symbol next to it. In any case it first of all clutters the UI and
secondly makes ordinary users who don't care about the options wonder what this
indicator is meant for.

And last but not least, c) is important. There might be cases where a setting
is stored only in some cases in the document. Many of what is configured in
tools > options can be tweaked per document at other dialogs. An example is
your locale which defines whether documents are letter or A4 but ultimately
it's the page style what defines the layout.

Admittedly, if all my concerns are neglectable it would give some confidence in
what you configure and how it works.
