What are RET and C-j bound to? In my setup, RET is bound to =org-return=, which does not delete spaces, but C-j is bound to =org-return-and-maybe-indent=, which does. So I have the opposite behavior as yours.
There were some recent changes in behavior of Org with respect to electric-indent-mode (long discussion in the list), I think this might have something to do with it but did not follow the full discussion.
