Your observation is correct, I think: I noted the same with grotty
output, and I dislike it very much to see the last line of a paragraph
flushed to the whole length, introducing, say, a single two-letter
space where all other spaces consists of a single-space character.

I haven't found out yet the cause of this behaviour; I invite you to
use a debugger so that you can find the relevant spot. :-)
