Format/Style... System tab Brace thickness and distance do not display a units suffix, which in this case is "sp" for staff space, right?

Measure tab Spacing? You mean the value for "Spacing (1=tight):"? No, this is not sp, more a relation, a factor on top of user strech:

qreal Measure::basicStretch() const
      {
      qreal stretch = userStretch() * score()->styleD(Sid::measureSpacing);
      if (stretch < 1.0)
            stretch = 1.0;
      return stretch;
      }

But indeed Brace thickness and distance are in sp

OK, so the Spacing (tight = 1) is not in staff spaces, doesn't it need some kind of units? It's confusing. All the other styles have units of percent for things that are factors without units. Anyway, as you say, the original issue stands.

it is just a factor, and as such a plain number. And no, not all these have % (which also would mean to multiply by them 100 for display), see for example the scaling options for images

I understand, it doesn't stay between 0 and 1, so percentage isn't appropriate. Instead of units it has the parenthetical (1=tight) as a helper.
