I was unable to get your example to work at all, despite downloading and installing the Roboto family from Google and then running "fc-cache <etc>", but I was able to use Roboto in plain XeTeX, as in :

\font \thisfont = "Roboto Medium"

\thisfont

\end

Viewing the resulting PDF in Adobe Acrobat CC, then using "File / Export to / Text (plain) yielded :

This is a test.

with no anomalous spaces or lack thereof.  Copy-and-paste similarly evidenced no anomalies.
