The LRF renderer never breaks around an em dash. AdobeDE considers all em dashes fair game to break around. The former results in the bad breaks you'd expect, but the latter can result in things like:

Oops. Fortunately AdobeDE does respect CSS ‘white-space: nowrap’, which can be used to selectively prevent breaks, although to be honest I’ve only actually seen this used in EPUB books I’ve produced myself.
