Description:
See URL above:...&apprefix=Test_ with underscore (could be %20 or +) at the end.
Result: "Test", "Test-Driven", ... (last space is ignored).
Expected: "Test (Unix)", "Test Drive", ...
Looks like the prefix is normalized as if it was a real title, thus loosing extra spaces. Note that [[Special:PrefixIndex]] has the same problem.
Version: 1.13.x

Reverted in r39938. That was a poor way to 'fix' the bug. It just caused a number of more issues.
The best way to fix this, is probably to pad the title with a single character such as '.' before normalizing it, and then strip that single character off after we're done.
