I did an additional test by adding multiple nbsp characters between groups of numbers so that there were more nbsp characters than regular spaces. As expected, conversion of this file to KFX replaced all of the nbsp's with regular spaces.

I then used kindleunpack to examine the MOBI file created by Previewer 3.8 and saw that it does still contain the nbsp characters, matching the original EPUB. This is not surprising since Kindle Previewer 3 uses kindlegen 2.9 to create the MOBI.
