OK I got it. It's because there's a 0x0A (linefeed) char between 'a' and
'provisional' (at least here) in the body. So you think it's a space,
but it's a just non-printable that prints as ' '.

Such line-break can occur anywhere in the text, you should take this
into account in your match rule, for instance using a regexp instead:

 "has.completed.a.provisional.membership.form"

(one could write a more realistic regexp with, but you'd loose in
readability, this one matches reasonably enough)
