I wasn't seeing this in the latest tag, but this seems to have been introduced with β¨ Deprecated packages in dependencies Fixed which has been merged into dev but not tagged in any release that I could see.
This does fix the issue for me, but I'm not sure if the fix would affect anything else, so I'm setting this to needs review.

I attempted to reproduce this problem on the 3.0.x-dev branch today and was unable to do so. Steps taken:
1. Create a new Contributor at /admin/content/bibcite/contributor , entering a Middle Name and a Surname, but not a First Name.
2. Create a Reference and associate it with this Contributor.
3. Render this using the (default) APA style citation formatter provided by the module.
4. Observe that there is no duplicative "double period" as described in the issue report.I also tried populating a whitespace character for the first name, and separately for the middle name.
If this is still a problem, please provide additional steps to reproduce. Also, if it is a problem, it might more appropriately be addressed in https://github.com/ADCI/full-name-parser, which is a dependency of this module.

I can confirm this is a problem in version 2.0.x and D9
I can confirm this is no longer a problem in version 3.0.x on D10 - Status changed to Closed: won't fix

Looking at the patch from #4, I am pretty sure that this issue was fixed (on the 3.0.x branch) in π Contributor with no first or middle name results in incorrect processing (e.g., APA format) Active .
At least, the patch here has pretty much the same effect as the change from that issue. It is possible that the symptom of the problem changed from some earlier commit, especially since (Comment #7 here) the problem could not be reproduced on the 3.0.x branch in June, but the other issue was not fixed until July.
