Previously, two spaces, for example between sentences, would lead to the token following the spaces being prefixed by a space. That would lead to it registering as not in the lexicon, and then passing the prefixed word into the fallback.

There are a few places it would have been possible to add this strip() call, but I tried to choose the most sensible one. Where ever it goes, it should be somewhere that affects both the lexicon check and the fallback. As an example of what was going on.
"Sentence(SPACE)one.(SPACE)(SPACE)And(SPACE)two." would end up trying to find " And" in the lexicon, not finding it, and then passing that string to the fallback. The transformer-based fallback has no idea what to make of that leading space (as it's not in the training set at all) and was making it into random-seeming phonemes.
