Please excuse, I have overlooked that you want a _hanging_ indent, my remarks
are for first line indent.

You mean the indent of the second line by "selected indentation"? This is
indeed treated as tab stop and a tab inserted left from it will jump to it.

This tab stop at indentation has position 0. Tab stops with position 0 are not
listed in the tab stops of the paragraph style and if you try to add such tab
stop there, it will be automatically removed. In turn you cannot style such
tab.

An additional problem is, that the handling of hanging indents is interwoven
with the handling of bullet and numbered lists.

Hanging indents are used for definition lists or play scripts for example.
There too I have not seen such fill characters. So the question is, what is the
use case of such fill character?

Workaround for your wish: Set a tab stop at -0.01mm and style it with a fill
character.

Your request is valid, but implementing it, is risky.
