Steps to reproduce
- Write a talk message, start typing "@..." and select something from the mention popup. The mention pill is inserted followed by a space character.
- Hit backspace to delete the space character (needed in some cases like you want to end a sentence with the mention or want a comma directly after the mention) and add a period (".") after the mention.
- Send the message.
Expected behaviour
In the sent message, the mention should still work and be displayed as a pill.
Actual behaviour
In the sent message, the mention is broken and not displayed as a pill anymore.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Talk app using the mention popup, then trace how a mention is represented when a message is sent after removing its trailing space and adding a period. Done means the sent message still displays the mention as a working pill in this punctuation case; the payload names no specific files or tests.
