It’s not a bug, this is how to_char() works. From the manual:
day full lower case day name (blank-padded to 9 chars)

It returns 9 characters. And only wednesday is without blanks. Change your where condition to solve the problem.

WITH testcases AS (
SELECT dd
FROM generate_series('2019-11-11'::timestamp, now(), '1 day'::interval) dd
)
SELECT
dd, to_char(dd, 'day'), length(to_char(dd, 'day'))
FROM testcases
WHERE to_char(dd, 'day') IN('monday ','tuesday ')
OR to_char(dd, 'day') =ANY('{"friday "}'::text[]);

Abraço,
Frank
