I don’t see a bug in a perfectly valid LaTeX that is compiles flawlessly. 
Adding or not adding an extra space is a user choice. 

the original contribution could be targeting a specific situation that requires 
that extra space and some people may be relying on that extra space for the 
look and feel of their PDFs. 

That’s why I propose to add a switch to control whether it is added or not
