Tested on reported latest Stable #61.0.3163.79 and latest Canary #63.0.3206.0	 on Windows 7, Ubuntu 14.04 and Mac 10.12.6 and able to reproduce the issue for M-50 #50.0.2624.0.

Observations:
1. When any URL is copied with empty spaces in the beginning or following the URL, spaces are not pasted in the Omni box.
2. Similar behavior is observed in FireFox.

Can someone from dev team please look into this issue.

This is intentional.  Workaround: use %20 to escape spaces when you want to preserve multiple consecutive spaces.

This behavior is especially useful when pasting multi-line input as a search query.  The case where people want consecutive spaces preserved is pretty rare.
