no, side effect of catcodes ... when you use \type it will change 
catcodes (sort of) and when tex serializes a \cs it will add a space 
(ok, it could remove it as it progresses but that's now how tex works)

when you pass \type as argument there is no catcode juggling but you can 
cheat

     \def\foo#1{#1}

     \foo{\type[compact=all]{\test\test\test}}

should work but i noticesd only for simple cases so i'll adapt it a bit
(after all, it's off by default)

naybe when i'm bored i'll cook up something else (at the engine level 
that is)
