This is not a bug. The documentation is clear.
"to_timestamp and to_date skip multiple blank spaces in the input
string unless the FX option is used. For example, to_timestamp('2000
JUN', 'YYYY MON') works, but to_timestamp('2000 JUN', 'FXYYYY
MON') returns an error because to_timestamp expects one space only. FX
must be specified as the first item in the template."
FX only applies to to_timestamp and to_date.
