Inside the "Insert citation" box you are already in TeX mode. Therefore the
solution is to write "p.\ 89". ("\ " is the ERT for "normal" space) or even
better "p.~89" which is "protected space" and prevents a line break.
The more general solution would be to use \frenchspacing, i.e. to have
normal spacing also after sentences.
