When you say "squashed into a single blank" do you mean the appearance, or how many blanks you see when you open the tiddler?
TW displays via HTML, and HTML will take an infinite number of spaces and squash them down to one. The old rule of two spaces after a period kind of died in the HTML world. But if you edit the tiddler, the spaces are still there. Actually, when I ran your example, something weirder occurred. The spaces were replaced with exactly 17 spaces. I'm thinking it's some sort of unicode translation error that may vary by platform. I do not get the square brackets [ ], so that may be a platform thing too. The number on the end is expected. When you use action-create tiddler it generates a new number to make sure that all new tiddlers are unique. What browser and platform are you using?
