I was actually using zwnbsp, which is different, and any properly functioning (Unicode-compliant) HTML/XHTML renderer should treat it as an indication that the line should not be broken at that point even if it otherwise would be.
How would older Kindles handle a zero-width non-breaking space? How would Mobi handle it?

The thing is, if you do need such, then it's a bug in the renderer.
