Per http://spec.commonmark.org/0.27/#code-spans your example is parsed as:

token: begin-inline-code
text: space backtick space
token: end-inline-code

At this point, MD038 is correct in reporting a violation.

However, the spec also says that leading/trailing whitespace is to be removed from the inline - at which point MD038 is wrong to report a violation.

I think this is what you're reporting?

I think so. The use case is to render backtick in the inline code block.
