It isn't a weird issue as far as Word is concerned -- it has always worked that
way.
Try starting with the caret to the right of the space following a word. When you
press Ctrl+backspace, the caret will arrive at the right of the space following
the preceding word:
Original:
some text here <caret here>next word
Press ctrl+bkspc
some text <caret here>next word
There is no setting to change this behavior in Word.
