What are RET and C-j bound to?

In my setup, RET is bound to =org-return=, which does not delete spaces,
but C-j is bound to =org-return-and-maybe-indent=, which does. So I have
the opposite behavior as yours.

There were some recent changes in behavior of Org with respect to
electric-indent-mode (long discussion in the list), I think this might have
something to do with it but did not follow the full discussion.

Hope this helps,
