I should have know better than to copy as I did from the source code
without analyzing it sufficiently! In typo-spa.mkiv I found:
\setupcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation] ["003A] [\c!left
=.25,\c!alternative=1] % : ...
I see (now) that the space disappears when the \c!left macro is
processed. Mea culpa. I owe you a beer.
