No, the 1.2.0 behavior is wrong! Note that text in my example is "Hello.<figure-inset> Hello." namely there is a space before the second 'H'. In the 1.2.0 output, there is no space between the sentences. The only place when the 1.1.6 behavior inserts a space to the output is when you put the figure in the middle of a word, which is not a sensible thing to do.
