Well, I solved the problem. It has nothing to do with your code or TeXmacs 
but 
with the cut-and-paste mechanism of KDE... When I pasted your code the first 
time, I marked it in KMail, CTRL-C, CTRL-V in KWrite, which leads to the 
mentioned problem. Now I deleted the first try and pasted again, this time by 
using the classical X11 method: just marking the text and pasting with the 
middle mouse button. This time everything worked fine. 
As there are no visible differences between the two versions, I opened them 
in 
a hexeditor discovering that the KDE-pasted version uses 0xa0 for spaces 
while the X11 version uses 0x20. 

Very strange.

This only-one-space feature is a great thing. How about including it into one 
of the next TeXmacs releases as an option?

Thanks a lot, 

Benno.
