SpaceDescription is null inside SpaceRemoveEvent

In confluence 4.1 and previous the Space object passed with the SpaceRemoveEvent contains a valid SpaceDescription object, however in confluence 4.2.x it is null.

This prevents our code from cleaning up content properties attached to the space description.

This is a problem because when a space with the same name is re-created the content properties associated with the space description re-appear - which is not the expected behaviour for our users.

Ideally we would like the SpaceRemoveEvent to behave in the same way as it always has done, alternatively if you can suggest a way of getting to the SpaceDescription then that could present a workaround for us.
