For me, with TL'09, it looks as if the space is reduced. You can see  
that in the simple example the capital B's are at the same position,  
but the word "marks" (part of k and s are visible only) is in the  
sentence with the real double quotes shifted a bit to the left, so  
that less material from the k is visible. Afterwards more is visible,  
so the space between the closing double quotes and the B was  
obviously reduced. (Viewing at 400 %.)
