Yes, I agree that we probably need to fix 'mode-line-compact' as well.
However, other than 'mode-line-compact', 'string-split', 'string-trim',
and some other commonly used string functions could also remove such
"non-empty spaces" unexpectedly. Image icons are the only thing that
brings me trouble. So I am reporting it as an 'icons.el' bug. Besides,
IMO it is less intrusive to change 'icons.el'.
