Ah, I missed that bit.  And:

4.4.  Space-Stuffing

   In order to allow for unquoted lines which start with ">", and to
   protect against systems which "From-munge" in-transit messages
   (modifying any line which starts with "From " to ">From "),
   Format=Flowed provides for space-stuffing.

   Space-stuffing adds a single space to the start of any line which
   needs protection when the message is generated.  On reception, if the
   first character of a line is a space, it is logically deleted.  This
   occurs after the test for a quoted line, and before the test for a
   flowed line.

So `fill-flowed' is definitely doing this wrong -- it just deletes the
space stuffing before it does any of the processing, which is the
opposite of what it should do, really.
