root.fake_input({}, " ") or root.fake_input({}, "space") doesn't work

Well, this isn't new at all, it never worked for as long as I remember (I got a macro module, and space never printed).
However, I am trying to emulate all awesomerc keybindings in an integration tests and this is a problem.
root.fake_input("key_press", "Super_L")
root.fake_input("key_press" , " ") -- or "space", or "#65"
root.fake_input("key_release", " ") -- or "space"
root.fake_input("key_release", "Super_L")

Works for me:
root.fake_input("key_press", 65) root.fake_input("key_release", 65)root.fake_input("key_press", "space") root.fake_input("key_release", "space")
In both cases, xev reports that space was pressed.
Also, the following toggles xev's floating state for me:
root.fake_input("key_press", "Super_L") local k = "space" root.fake_input("key_press", k) root.fake_input("key_release", k) root.fake_input("key_release", "Super_L")
What am I doing wrong (or right)?

Umm, strange, it doesn't for me (with unit test...) and my macro module also doesn't print spaces.

What does xev report when you do the above? What does xev report when you fake the "does-not-exist" key (in my case, I get keycode 8 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol))?
Since I have no idea what else could influence this:
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+de+inet(evdev)+capslock(backspace)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};

I just recorded a macro dddd bbbb (4 spaces in the middle, markdown hide them)
