Thank you in advance for the upcoming fix.

Can you tell us (me) why you chose to create a new macro, 
\autoinsertedspace, instead of changing the code for 
\autoinsertnextspace in LMTX? Do you see a circumstance under which the 
current LMTX behavior of \autoinsertnextspace is desirable or required? 
Will the new macro be available under MkIV?
