I'm not sure now what I did.  But I didn't use your "testing" line, your OP 
just said:

"2. Type a line of text that extends beyond (window-width) with auto-fill
mode is disabled so that continuation arrows are displayed in the
fringes."

I just typed in random characters.

But when I try now, I can't see any difference if the second character is a 
space or not.  Sorry for the noise.
