Comment (by Presskopp):

 I initially thought this was just a missing space, but it turns out the
 scope is larger.
 The fatal error handler appends an HTML link to the error message, while
 the plugin/theme update UI intentionally strips all HTML for security
 reasons.

 This results in broken sentence rendering and makes it impossible for the
 intended “Learn more…” link to appear as an actual link in the update
 notice.

 Patching this in updates.js does not seem like the right approach.
 If we want links in update error messages, the overall error handling
 needs to be revisited and possibly adjusted.
