quoted from the help (55 lines below ":help d"):

| An exception for the d{motion} command: If the motion is not linewise, the
| start and end of the motion are not in the same line, and there are only
| blanks before the start and after the end of the motion, the delete becomes
| linewise.  This means that the delete also removes the line of blanks that you
| might expect to remain. Use the |o_v| operator to force the motion to be
| characterwise.

"only blanks" is to be understood as "only blanks or no characters at
all".

Regards,
Jürgen
