I am gobsmacked that those lf codes came through, on an allegedly "cleaned" file.
But Hitch, I opened that selfsame file in Sigil, linked it to the style sheet, Prettified it, and I didn't see any of the flaws you describe. No space tags. Flight Crew did show three errors, but two of them were easily fixed by using the TOC and Metadata tools. (I forget what the third error was.)

And to recapitulate: I write in WordStar, open in Word for tweaking, and save to *.docx. I don't use Styles at all. For me, Word is just a virtual typewriter whose only virtue is that it can do curly quotes and em dashes, and is accepted by other softwares and by my editor.

The closest thing to a problem I've ever had with Word2Clean was when I fed it an OpenOffice Writer doc and instead of <p> tags it gave me <p class="normal"> which was readily fixed by doing a search and replace.
