There is another posibility:
"It was expensive . The price" 

Here, there is a blank before and after the period. So we have at 
least 4 posibilities:

1- "word.  word"
2- "word.word"
3- "word . word"
4- "word .word"

And what about these ones
5- "word... word"

I am not sure if BumpPositionCounterCharacters needs to be a 
subset of IgnoreLastChar. I do not think so. But the check in the code 
has to consider that it can be part of IgnoreLastChar. 

Basically, in stripIgnoreLastChar function, if a char is stripped, we 
have to check also if the stripped character is in 
BumpPositionCounterCharacters. If so, counter is incremented. 

Adtionally, we have to increment pointer if the next non blank char 
after a word is in BumpPositionCounterCharacters.

What do you think?

Sure
