You could try to convert the file to kfx if that fixes the problem, or you could try figuring what goes wrong during the conversion. I guess that Calibre part of the forums would be a way to go for that.
Given that the eBook is in KF8 format, just load it into the editor and then it can easily be seen if the space(s) around the em dashes are in the eBook or not. If they are in the eBook, searing/replace will fix that.

So my solution is to use the editor to fix the problem because if it is in the eBook, converting to KFX won't help. And KFX is meh!
