I expected the \doifmode to vanish completely when the condition is not met. As is the case, even if the condition is not met it has a measurable effect because of the extra space being typeset.

spaces are always meaningful
A \doifmode{condition-not-met}{B} C
actually what you ask for is:
A<space>\doifmode{condition-not-met}{B}<space>C
so when the condition is not met you get
A<space><space>C
i can see no reason for ignoring spaces after a doifmode by default
