It cites MLA, which is still very typewriter-based.

most of the top hits I've looked at are a straight lift from MLA, and
thus typographically-challenged.

The style guide that many of us reckon is just about bearable (The
Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/styleguide/) says an ellipsis should
be a non-break space, followed by an ellipsis character, followed by a
non-break space. Doesn't say anything about one at the end of a
sentence.
