In HTML multiple white space characters (spaces, tabs, etc.) are rendered as a single space, but in Word multiple white space characters are meant to all be significant.

I took a look at the code calibre uses to convert DOCX format and it appears that it uses white-space:pre-wrap in places where the Word document contains text that has extra white space.

In your case the sentence has two spaces after the period. The extra markup is being generated to assure that both spaces are rendered in the resulting EPUB.
