I have very reluctantly, begun to add spaces before/after m-dashes. Something I'm adamantly opposed to in books (though I really believe it's a matter of taste, and many reputable publishers surround m-dashes with kerning or spacing). As much as I dislike it, I agree that it is more disruptive to a reader to have the type of overly loose line that Kindle (for instance) will create when an m-dash tricks it into thinking there is a very long word present.
Short version: Spaces around m-dashes is the lesser evil.
