I think you should read it as "any (given) input string" (is accepted).
As distinguished from REQUIRE-MATCH t where RET doesn't let you exit
with non matching input.

So I don't see any bug in the strict sense.  OTOH I think it would be
good to speak out that SPC is special, and mention the C-q SPC
workaround, at least in the manual (if we don't do this already - do
we?).
