Yep, good catch.  However, your patch did not make an unspecified
token-set equivalent to char-set:graphic, but to (char-set-complement
char-set:whitespace).

Could you update your patch accordingly?

Thanks!

Yes, I have recorded this as bug 'string-tokenize-is-wrong' and tagged
it as release critical.

(I know this might be controversial.  My argument is that in the rare
case where we do have a standard to conform to, and we violate it so
spectacularly, and the fix is so easy, then it is release critical.)
