I haven't tested it with `emacs -Q', sorry. In not only that case but also the case I launch emacs with no argument, I confirmed it doesn't happen. But at last I found a recipe to reproduce this: (get-buffer-create "foo-bar") That's all! Could you try this on `emacs -Q'? And you will see that the first SPC for `C-x b' doesn't insert a space (I'm not quite sure if it happens on every platform, though). Maybe a buffer-name containing a hyphen triggers this problem. Thanks.

Indeed, that's it. It's due to the fix for http://debbugs.gnu.org/15980. I.e. if we have buffer names " toto" and "foo-bar", then both " " and "-" have valid completions (remember: C-x b uses substring completion), so bug#15980 says that instead of choosing arbitrarily between " " and "-", we should just leave the input unchanged. I must say I dislike "word completion". Both because its behavior is largely ill-defined (e.g. what does it mean to "complete at most a single word" when the completion table completes "a-b-$FOO-a" to "a-b-c-a-d-a"?), and because I'd rather leave SPC as a self-insert key. So in this case, I'd tend to prefer reverting the fix for bug#15980, so that " " is preferred over "-" on the premise that it makes SPC behave a bit more like self-insert-command.
