How about this rule:

Transcript fails when determining if a word is among the words of a 
string literal WHEN:
The string literal ends with <space> AND, in the case of a chunk 
expression, includes that last space.

In any case, it definitely looks like a bug and smells of some check 
for end-of-string, next-word, and NULL going wrong in the engine...
