I guess we could provide an ad-hoc completion style for buffers, but
    that's kind of ugly: completion styles are supposed to be agnostic to the
    underlying completion table and vice-versa.

For common UI features in Emacs, convenience is more important than
uniformity.  This is one of them.  Space at the start of a buffer
name has always had special treatment in several ways; turning off
the special treatment for completion is simply a bug.
