In some recent revision of Emacs, I started to notice that killed text
that included spaces was yanked with spaces missing.

Turned out to associated with whitespace-mode. With the mode off, all
is well, with it on, yanked text loses the space characters.

A bit of searching shows that it's related to yank-handled-properties
whose default value is

((font-lock-face . yank-handle-font-lock-face-property)
(category . yank-handle-category-property))

Removing the first pair fixes the issue, but I am not happy fiddling
with variable that presumably have a value for some good reason. I
found the documentation a little confusing. It's possible that the
related yank-excludes-properties is a better variable to fiddle with,
but, as I say, I did not find the documentation very helpful.

So, questions (at last!)... Have I changed anything that will come back
to bite me later, and is there a better solution than removing one part
of the assoc list yank-handled-properties?
