While writing the above posts I've been thinking about how to prove if the kepub renderer is changing the width of the NO-BREAK SPACE. And I realised the test book I posted can do it.

Open it to the page with the spaces. Choose a font and size. It will be easier with a larger font as the line needs to go over to the next line. Set it to justify and then step through the margin lengths. Does the distance between the two quotes for the NO-BREAK SPACE? My eyes say it doesn't change, but the space just before it does. But, it might be a better test if there were letters either side instead of the quote. Using punctuation characters might affect the behaviour.
