Yes. You wrote:

                        I've checked the POSIX standard for make, and it 
says this:

                        IEEE 1003.1-2001 / Shells and Utilities, Issue 6
                        P. 610-611 lines 23540-23544:

                        When an escaped <newline> (one preceded by a 
backslash) is found
                        anywhere in the makefile except in a command line, 
it shall be replaced,
                        along with any leading white space on the 
following line, with a single
                        <space>.

So in my example, it does not seem to be a bug since the escaped newline 
was in the define statement, not in a command line, and therefore the 
additional space is POSIX compliant.
