It may be useless and pointless but the client's software is doing it. It is valid code that does not trigger epubcheck to throw any errors. Whereas your plugin converts word<i> </i>newword to wordnewword. Substitute any tag with or without a class/style/id/whatever. I noticed the issue when a final spellcheck barfed on the document.
I see this when I run CustomCleanerPlus on an epub all by itself after clicking clear all so no options are selected.
Code:
<p>This<span class="italic" id="kofu0"> </span>is<span class="italic" id="kofu1"> </span>a<span class="italic" id="kofu2"> </span>test<span class="italic" id="kofu3"> </span>for</p>
Code:
<p>This<span class="italic" id="kofu0"/>is<span class="italic" id="kofu1"/>a<span class="italic" id="kofu2"/>test<span class="italic" id="kofu3"/>for</p>

This is a test for

I do have a search that looks for tagged space(s) and removes the tags but your code removes the space but not the tags which is wrong in so many ways.
