I did say it was a workaround that I couldn't test on a recent Kindle...
Would using the HTML nonbreaking-space entity work better for Kindle users? Substituting & nbsp; (without the space) for the period works on the old Kindle that I have access to, including when the background is a different color. It works perfectly for .epubs and web-viewed HTML, and according to the old .mobi spec I looked at should work for .azw and .kfx (but like I said, I can't test it on anything that wouldn't qualify as a special deal from Honest Al's Used Cars).
Another alternative might be the Unicode en-space character U+2002 (& #8194; again without the space), but entering that can be tricky depending on the native keyboard setup on the machine used to edit the file so I defaulted to an entity designation. Same caveat: I can't test this on current equipment; I'm just suggesting it as a workaround that will be easy to modify later (because the code is so easy to search for and unlikely to overlap anything else).
The issue with a "full line space between" does not show up on the older Kindle that I'm using, or Kindle-for-PC. So I'm not sure about that...
