Closing as invalid. This behaviour is unchanged. I've tested all the way back to PHPCS 2.6.0 and also tested with WPCS 2.3.0.

But it's still wrong - there's no code standard that wants a space before a binary or, is there?

No, it's not wrong. Nearly all sniffs are opinionated in one way or another. Clearly the standard you are using is of the opinion that there should be a space as they selected and enabled this sniff.
