Current behaviour of spacing springs is wrong and confusing.  Changing min_distance of a spring should generally not affect its ideal distance.

The patch for issue 2462 (commit [rab6842155a003ba7d9243507594e3e973ebbb3e4]) fixed part of this issue, but the spring code needs more thorough changes (in particular, merge_springs should not set merged spring's distance to max (min_distance + 0.3, avg_distance))

For details, see the discusion under that patch: https://codereview.appspot.com/108280044
