Multiline Fields getting stripped spaces

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  The following event block:
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111104
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111105
SUMMARY:Photo Day

 forms and payments on the day of photo day that they can hand to the

END:VEVENT

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output of description should be:
"8:45-12:00\nPlease make sure that students have their photo forms and payments 
on the day of photo day that they can hand to the photographer"

What I end up with:
"8:45-12:00\nPlease make sure that students have their photoforms and payments 
on the day of photo day that they can hand to thephotographer"

note no space between photo and forms and the and photographer

I'd like to reopen this ticket because I have the same problem and the two solutions above don't work.
Commenting gives me incomprehensible characters and ltrim / rtrim creates spaces in words.

The comment file is no longer available.

Is an update possible?

Thank you
