Details 
When a label and a text box are direct children of a fieldset, as in:

<fieldset>
<label for="username">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" id="username">
</fieldset>

the space after the label disappears mysteriously. This does not happen if the
label and input field are enclosed in a paragraph tag, or if they are outside of
a fieldset.

This is similar to bug 48376, comment #19 (although that comment might refer to
a different problem).

In light of bug 48376, comment #19, added some other inline elements and a
strict DOCTYPE to the test. White space is stripped between <span>, <i>, <b>,
and <em>. This bug manifests in both standards compliant and quirks mode.

Revising description.

Only fieldset > * (in CSS terms) are affected. The bug did not manifest when the
inline elements were wrapped up in <p>, <span>, <blockquote>, or <q>, so it
doesn't seem to matter if the wrapper is block or inline.
Summary: Space between <label> and text box disappears in <fieldset> → White space stripped after inline element children of <fieldset>

The testcase seems to be working correctly, although I can remember having
similar problems...
