I have just encountered this bug, and through investigation I determined that
it is only the top-level items that force display of the "After" separator. 
Second-level and deeper do not.

In my case, I was trying to have an outline structure such as:

Section 1. Blah
  1.A Blah
    1.A.1 Blah
    1.A.2 Blah
Section 2. Stuff...

For the top-level items in the outline, the word "Section" is in the "Before"
separator, with a trailing space.

Elsewhere in the text, I want it to read "As mentioned in Section 2, blah..."
but the reference will make it say "As mentioned in Section 2., blah..."

Note the unwanted period!

This behavior means I cannot have both the outline itself and the
cross-reference look correct.  The fact that the reference appearance changes
only if I put something in "Before" field makes it inconsistent, and therefore
I consider it a bug.

I will attach a document showing exact steps to reproduce, and the unwanted
behavior.
