Sorry for my misleading wording.
When saying "should give the same result" what I really meant was "should
produce the same visual result".
If I had widened the resulting stencil in order to prevent "slanted" text
stick out to the left and the right, this would have resulted in a wider
spacing when applied to separate chunks.

And, additionally, it is perfectly common for a (true) slanted/italic
character to protrude out of its box.

Yes, it certainly is, that's why I mentioned it. But it should not lead to a
wider spacing, exactly like 
\italic "This is a sample text" or \italic \line { This is a sample text }
and
\italic { This is a sample text }
will have visually identical spacing

All the best,
Torsten
