> I made an example of the effect of this on \doifmode and \startmode. The example shows that the appearance of extra space in \doifmode follows a regular pattern. The startmode case differs in that respect because \startmode[condition-true] has the extra space but \startmode[condition-false] has not. In my view that is an unwanted anomaly. A little redefinition remedies that as can be seen in the example.
it's all a side effect of how parses: spaces after a \cs are gobbled so
any macro that looks ahead has to struggle with this and compromise
you can consider using
\startsetups xxx
\stopsetups
\doifmode{whatever}{\setups{xxx}
inside setups all spaces and line endings are ignores (so an explicit
one has to be \space)
