That's just how the background property works, it only colors the 
area behind the text that's tagged.

You could file a feature request to add a paragraph_background
property or something like that in GTK 2.2, that would do what you
want. File the feature request on http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

As a hack in the meantime you could maybe paint in the margins
yourself by doing g_signal_connect_after() on expose_event and using
functions like gtk_text_view_get_line_yrange() to decide where to
paint.
