I think we either have to do this, or introduce a formal convention for
these strings that say either to always add a space to the front or the
back of them.
I guess we don't really see this much as a problem in practice, because
we don't have many of these "non-mode" strings in the mode line.
So perhaps settling on a convention and then altering all the instances
to follow it would be more efficient -- there's probably just a few
dozen of them?
