Finding workarounds feels unfriendly to the reader. I'd be confused why I tapped an empty space and it took me anywhere at all, and I'd be confused if I tapped a labeled entry and it took me nowhere. Actually in both instances, I'd wonder why that was selectable at all. Basically, even if it worked, I don't think you should do it. IMO of course.
But, the one thing I noticed in my example is that a single non-breaking space is not easy to hit. The problem comes with the other labels that should go noplace but have to go someplace.
