Confused with segmentation rules with Japanese

If I look at the segmentation rules on my TM (language pair is Japanese to English), it shows the following segmentation rule.
As you can see, it says a "\s" (whitespace character) is required after the break. However, according to my tests, this whitespace character is ignored and the segmentation happens whether there is a whitespace character or not. Does anyone know why the segmentation rule is ignored for Japanese?

Screenshot of Trados Studio's Edit Segmentation Rule window showing a rule description for terminating punctuation. The 'Before break' field contains a complex regular expression, and the 'After break' field contains a whitespace character requirement.
