The formatter itself preserves runs of multiple spaces, though.  The below
output is the same for groff 1.19.2 and 1.24.0 (and, by interpolation, any
groff in between).

$ echo 'a      b' | groff -Tascii | cat -s
a      b


You can also see the spaces preserved in typeset output, although not in -a
output, which _does_ collapse multiple spaces.

So whatever is collapsing your runs of spaces, it seems to not be the
formatter.  Macro package or postprocessor perhaps?
