Query on the WCAG 2.1 text spacing checkpoint

Hi all,
I have a query on the WCAG 2.1 text spacing. When we apply steve falkner
text spacing bookmarklet then most of our site works fine with proper
spacing created except placeholder texts. the spacing does not get created
for the placeholder text when text spacing bookmarklet is applied. An
interesting thing is that placeholder text does not overlap/cut-off/hide
when text spacing bookmarklet is applied and placeholder text is clearly
visible but it just does not create spacing visually. Is it still a failure
of text spacing checkpoint? or is this a limitation of the text spacing
bookmarklet itself?
Looking forward for your response
