It is not documented to work like that and isn't supposed to. It's more
than likely a bug cause by something not being quoted as it should,
which means that you'll get inconsistent results... ie the depends
information could say it depends on a spell called "glibc gcc" while
cast may turn that into two spells, cleanse may not which would cause
all sorts of weirdness.
