I see that too.  After `echo-keystrokes' seconds, the prefix
shows up, then after a short random delay, a space is inserted.

I used to think that was a kind of animation they had
recently put in to bring attention to the prefix.

But now that you mention it, I see that the prefix only
animates when there is a process filter active.

I can make two observations:

 - Regardless of the value of `echo-keystrokes', the prefix
   key is displayed as soon as a process filter runs.

 - The extra space is then inserted as soon as another
   process filter runs.

Though this looks like a bug, it doesn't seem to do any real
harm except in your original situation.

Can you reproduce it by setting `echo-keystrokes' to 1?

(I can't.)
