A string is an sexp. " " is a string containing a single space.
Emacs sees on the left side of point, a sexp: " ", and on the right side
of point, another sexp: f. It swaps them. That's what the command
does.
[Maybe, as Richard mentioned, it should be more friendly by detecting
that it's inside a string and do... something... in that case (what??),
but detecting that is not particularly trivial (and so is not a suitable
change just before a release).]
