The extra space seems to be that of a potential 'minus' sign:
octave:1> 1
ans = 1
octave:2> -1
ans = -1
octave:3> disp (1)
1
octave:4> disp (-1)
-1
I don't know if that is intentional. But I'd rather leave it so, so
that a number and its negative are printed aligned.
'0' makes an exception, though:
octave:5> 0
ans = 0
octave:6> -0
ans = -0
