Coding style is one thing. *Alignment of parentheses* is another.
(And yes, when I'm maintaining other people's code I do realign them if
they're misaligned and I'm working in that area: but submitting patches
that do nothing else is barmy.)

I do think that if one is already changing a line which is incorrectly laid out then there's no point in _leaving_ it incorrect. There's no downside to fixing it. That being said, it's often sorely tempting to go hunting down nearby sillinesses. I succumb to that temptation and usually won't complain when others do also, up to a point.
