Oh? Really? If it does, that's a bug. I'm a bit surprised, because the
removal of space after a continuation in the config file happens
centrally when the file is being read. I'll look into this and fix the
problem if I can find it.

It's just occurred to me - is this in a config file, or is it in a
filter?
