\label after an amsthm theorem produces extra horizontal space with pdftex and xetex

[mbertucci47]

With pdflatex or xelatex but not lualatex, a \label after an amsthm theorem produces extra horizontal space.

\begin{lemma}
\kant[1][1-2]
\end{lemma}
\begin{lemma}\label{foo}
\kant[1][1-2]
\end{lemma}

\end{document}

This is fixed by putting a % after \label{foo} but this shouldn't be necessary.

The problem doesn't arise with the kernel \newtheorem.

hm yes. The core problem is that with tagging we are already in hmode. One probably will have to put all the code from \@begintheorem into a \deferred@thm@head again, but I don't think that I want to struggle with amsthm now.
