Weird sys.fqhost value

Greetings everyone,

Since the upgrade from Cfengine 3.15 to 3.18 I can observe a weird '
*sys.fqhost*' value.

In 3.15.2 this variable is correct:
default:sys.fqhost                       test1.example.com                 
                           inventory,source=agent,attribute_name=Host name

In 3.18.2 and 3.20.0 however, there are numerous spaces around the hostname:
default:sys.fqhost                                                         
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                test1.                                                     
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                  
 example.com inventory,source=agent,attribute_name=Host name
default:sys.uqhost                       test1                             
                           inventory,source=agent,attribute_name=none
default:sys.domain                       example.com                       
                           source=agent

Note the many spaces between the hostname and the domain name.

Accordingly, cf-exec fails to run with his message in /var/log/syslog:
error: Couldn't open 
'/var/cfengine/outputs/cf___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________test1_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________example_com__1663916430_Fri_Sep_23_09_00_30_2022_0x7ff5fa880b80' 
- aborting exec. (fopen: File name too long)

'hostname -f' gives:
test1.example.com

root@test1:~# hostname
test1

And in the body common control in promises.cf I have set:
body common control
{
[...]
domain => "example.com";
[...]
}

And, for completeness sake:
root@test1:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.1.1    test1.example.com test1

::1        localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1        ip6-allnodes
ff02::2        ip6-allrouters

root@test1:~# cat /etc/hostname
test1

So I have absolutely no idea where these spaces are coming from. Any ideas?
