This is a known issue, and has been discussed recently on this forum.
The workaround is to put a non-breaking space in between:
<h:outputText value="#{b.foo}"/>  <h:outputText value="#{b.foo}"/>
Yeah, I know, lame. The reason why is complicated, and only comes into
play when there is pure space between two components.
Incidentally, this also works:
#{b.foo} #{b.foo}
because outputText isn't required in the simple case anymore.

You can download a sample Eclipse project that includes the code below and demonstrates the issue from http://www.coreservlets.com/jsf2/
