It might also hide the associated styling from some lesser
browser/versions which don't understand the multiple-class construct.
Whether one considers that a disadvantage or a benefit depends on
one's attitude to web design. (no smiley)

Browsers/versions such as...? I haven't encountered that particular
limitation yet, so I'd like to know where it pops up.

I don't have details at my fingertips, but google search for terms e.g
multiple.classes css bugs
suggests, among other things,
http://www.richinstyle.com/bugs/table.html
http://www.pixelsurge.com/experiment/multiplestyles.htm
- which don't necessarily agree with each other; but it seems the
affected browsers are old enough by now that their users may be
presumed to encounter quite enough problems with other people's web
pages that a few missing CSS styles on ours would be of no great
consequence to them. After all, CSS is meant to be optional, by
design.
As ever, YMMV ...

IMHE there aren't any browsers that suffer from this.
Counter-examples welcome. I'm sure there are some, but they're not
examples that are going to worry me or make me stop using the multiple
class technique.

Space characters (space, tab, form feed, new line) are not significant
and being collapsed to a single space by parser (unless in <pre>
block).
This is HTML rule equal for all UA's (including Amaya).
You may want to watch instead line breaks and spaces *between* tag
because on some surrent implementations it leads to phantom nodes in
DOM Tree.
