Hi Taco,
I use your latest beta.
The first thing I tested, was just \cite{key}, and since I got an error:
Runaway argument?
 bla \placepublications \stoptext 
! File ended while scanning use of \docite.
<inserted text> 
                \par 
<*> &cont-en test.tex

I thought, that this format was no more supported.

But if you need to support also \cite{key} and \cite[options]{key}, then
the space problem would be solved anyway: just drop the \cite[] and
\cite[][] syntax, I don't see any need for this (just backward
compatibility perhaps?).
The space problem occurs whenever you do
\def\Command{\dodoubleempty\doCommand}
\def\doCommand[#1][#2]{....}
but not with
\def\Command{\dosingleempty\doCommand}
\def\doCommand[#1]#2{....}

Cheers and thanks for your great module!
Peter
