And it is explicitly documented in the mdoc(7) manual:

: Trailing Blank Space Characters
:   Troff can be confused by blank space characters at the
:   end of a line.  It is a wise preventive measure to globally
:   remove all blank spaces from <blank-space><end-of-line>
:   character sequences.  Should the need arise to force a
:   blank character at the end of a line, it may be forced
:   with an unpaddable space and the `\&' escape character.
:   For example, `string\ \&'.

It is also wise to read the "Other Possible Pitfalls" section.
