Alright, the following bug(?) is the last one in this thread form me,
i.e. I'll consider this thread closed and if I find anything new (or
a solution to quotes) I'll send new bug report.

In KILLING.TEXI - L125-127:
  leaves @var{n} spaces before point if @var{n} is positive; if @var{n}
  is negative, it deletes newlines in addition to spaces and tabs,
-leaving @var{-n} spaces before point.  The command @code{cycle-spacing}
+leaving @var{n} spaces before point.  The command @code{cycle-spacing}

There 'n' stands just for number of spaces, so no need for negative
or positive mark.  Also documentation string in SIMPLE.EL for
'just-one-space' will need correction, because there is '-N'.

Maybe we could even abridge whole sentence to something like this:

With a positive numeric argument @var{n}, it leaves @var{n} spaces
before point; if @var{n} is negative, it also deletes newlines.

Unless it works differently than I think it does.
