It's an important detail, and the spec seems clear enough (2.1.6):
"This specification follows the whitespace behavior defined for XML, that
is; all white space within the body text of a document is not significant, but
is preserved."
Therefore, the whitespace between the two expressions should have been
preserved, i.e., passed through as template text. So I'd say it's a JRun bug, at
least per the 1.0 spec.
But maybe my interpretation of the spec is wrong, so I'm copying
jsp-spec-comments with a request for clarification.

HTML and JSPs are supposed to ignore whitespace, but this may just be going
too far. Regardless, adding an doesn't seem like a hardship, and I
suspect arguing whether it's a bug will be pointless since I doubt that the
JSP spec is really all that clear on such a detail.
