Sounds like it.  This is also an issue in todo-mode, which by default
enables visual-line-mode and indents with wrap-prefix.  For example,
here both items have no space after the date, but the second one is too
long for the window, so Visual Line mode breaks it:

It would be nice if the display could be like this:

1 [May 31, 2018] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/log/
2 [May 31, 2018] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=c0a035124
