I'm not sure whether it is a bug or feature  
at least I couldn't find this behavior documented:

When I divide a Tag (I have the following separator: !--! )  
all the resulting separate tags are trimmed as with the $trim(x) command

This behavior doesn't bother me  
(but I could think of scenarios where it might bother somebody)  
but I think if it is on purpose it should be mentioned in the  
description of the action.

I believe this behavior is by design. It's unexpected, I agree, and unnecessary. There are a lot of little unexpected quirks like this in the scripting language.
