Can you change the examples so that the second word starts with a
vowl? That makes the problem much more noticeable (because screen
readers try to make up a new word).
I've noticed this problem too but thought it had to do with use of
inline elements (<span> elements) that do not insert space.
E.g. a screen reader only <span> with the text "opens in new tab" for
links with target="_blank".
But based on your examples this problem also appears with use of block
level elements and has to do with the CSS not the underlying element.
