I dare voicing a different opinion. Allthough there indeed is both a space before the \doifmode as well as after it, I am aware of that but that is besides my point. 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. 
To be more explicit, my expectations were: A \doifmode{condition-not-met}{B} C resulting in: AC 
whereas it becomes: A C.
