Isn't that what the OP said? A quick test here also confirms that it
is true: replacing one or both "s"-s with pitches, changes the spacing
the spacing is different with "s" than with a pitch.
In fact, 

   {d4 d4\turn}
   {s4 s4\turn}
   {s4 d4\turn}
   {d4 s4\turn}

in the original example give four different spacings.
