I think so too. At least, that's how it worked before.

`read-from-minibuffer' docstring describes the READ argument to work as 
(car (read-from-string INPUT-STRING)), but I don't see how it's better 
than plain `read'.

Yeah, that's a separate problem. Personally, I don't use SPC for 
completion anywhere, so that binding is harmful for me in any kind of 
completing-read, not just here.
