I think that you may have found a previously unidentified (by us) feature of Adobe Live Cycle Designer. Apparently when multiple "text" boxes are used in a "row" within the design the resultant PDF does not have space characters between the elements. This seems to be resolved if you add the spaces to the text within the text boxes but we will need to do a bit more testing to be sure. We use a somewhat different design standard than the one the example provided by Jan, so we had not encountered this particular issue before.

We attempt to use the captions feature for all of the form fields when possible. In the design that was submitted we probably would have chosen to use the bottom caption element for each of the fields and made all of the "inputs" editable. But we may have more latitude to make design changes than Jan.
