It is documented behavior:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/datatype-character.html
"Values of type character are physically padded with spaces to the
specified width n, and are stored and displayed that way. However, the
padding spaces are treated as semantically insignificant. Trailing
spaces are disregarded when comparing two values of type character, and
they will be removed when converting a character value to one of the
other string types. Note that trailing spaces are semantically
significant in character varying and text values, and when using pattern
matching, e.g. LIKE, regular expressions."
