I would agree with that. Koha shouldn't munge the data. If there is a trailing
space it should be dealt with preferably at the source. A couple other
possibilities would be to use a Marc Modification Template or a plugin to clean
up the records.
We shouldn't have magic side effects in Koha. Those types of things lead to
confusion. The next library might rely on a trailing space and have no idea why
it's not working ;)
