That's true.

Sorry, I didn't understand you were asking about checkdoc.  The code
there is really simple: find the next dot (that is also at a word
boundary), run `backward-sexp', use a regexp to see if this is an
abbreviation.

So it lands on the "r" in "reporter---i.e." and says, no, this is not an
abbreviation I know about, so there has to be two spaces after the dot.
