I would argue that this is not a bug.

Collapsing whitespace is the default behavior of CSS2.1 text, and typically
what is expected.  You can specify style="white-space:pre;" and the space will
be drawn and you can edit it...

Try this:

=================
<html>
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<div contenteditable="true">
<span contenteditable="false">Enter some text:</span>
<span style="white-space:pre;" id="bug">        </span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
=================
