Okay, figured it out. Or Snarko did, should have caught it myself from the screenshot, since the LeaderStatus icons aren't showing.
Open up Assets/Python/Screens/CvMainInterface.py. Search for "MAJOR_STATUS" (line 4404). Change it to "HISTORICAL_STATUS". Then two lines down, change "MINOR_STATUS" to "IMPORTANT_STATUS".
The old leader statuses don't exist, so it was adding the same text to the buffer again; IE, the alignment. Had you had emergent leaders, they would have only shown one alignment.
