The specification states:
hanging-indent
If set to "true" ("false" is the default), bibliographic entries are rendered with hanging-indents.

This is not necessarily true. If the second-field-align is being used (regardless of its value), the bibliography entries are rendered as hanging indents even when the hanging-indent is set to false. I confirmed it by testing.

I can't say if this is a bug or by design. Nevertheless, the specification is inconsistent with the behavior. If the second-field-indent is intended to override the hanging-indent setting, then the spec should state something like:

hanging-indent
If set to "true" ("false" is the default), bibliographic entries are rendered with hanging-indents. However, if the second-field-align is being used, the hanging indent is always true even when set to false.
