I think echo/echon is doing fine. It's getchar() that's eating up
trailing spaces. Compare @a's for:
:redir @a | echon " 123 " | call getchar() | redir END
:redir @a | echon "\n123 " | call getchar() | redir END
:redir @a || echon " 123 " | call getchar() | redir END
The "\n" or previous ex command "|" has something to do with it.
