I guess we could provide an ad-hoc completion style for buffers, but
that's kind of ugly: completion styles are supposed to be agnostic to the
underlying completion table and vice-versa.
For common UI features in Emacs, convenience is more important than
uniformity. This is one of them. Space at the start of a buffer
name has always had special treatment in several ways; turning off
the special treatment for completion is simply a bug.
