I would say that this is unsupported expected behaviour ;) 

It is better not to use $ at all (except when using it as a dollar sign when 
\asciimode is active).

A bit over-precise maybe, but while the first three are the same, the last line 
is 
actually very subtly different. 

The first three lines are essentially this in TeX82 :

  $math $text here$ math\hfill\break

while that last line is 

  $math \hbox{text here} math\hfill\break

Best wishes,
