Yes, I'm afraid this is a bug in ASP. I apologize for the inconvenience.
This will be fixed for the next release of WindowsCE. In the meantime, the
only workaround I can give you would be to use something like an HTML space
("&nspc;" or something like that) or alternatly a dummy comment "<!-- -->"
right after the "%>" to force the space to be sent across.
