Good catch - I don't think this is a spec problem, as the grammar for 
diamond is defined as follows in the latest draft:

/TypeArgumentsOrDiamond:/

        /TypeArguments/  

        |<||>|  


So it is more a compiler bug erroneously accepting spaces 'inside' the 
diamond. The compiler should be fixed.
