Could you described the intended look?

Two mode-line entries one right by another, without a space between?

And with the backend name removed? Wouldn't you say we're losing some 
useful information this way? Or perhaps the backend name is not essential.

In any case, it seems like

  (const :tag "Show project name and status" with-project)

describes the option inaccurately, since VC's mode line doesn't show the 
project name. And if you customize 'vc-display-status' to 'with-project' 
but don't set project-mode-line to t, the project name won't be shown at 
all.
