It won't change a single space to two, but it will add two spaces after
a sentence which was previously at the end of a line... and it *won't*
break a line after a dot followed by a single space (Vim isn't clever
enough for this second bit), preferring to break before the preceding
word instead.

A dot followed by a single space is *permitted* (hence why you observed
it didn't change it to two), it is simply assumed to represent something
other than the end of a sentence, such as an initial in a name.
