So in this example, it looks like the problem is that the wizard can't tell the difference between a regular space and a non-breaking space, right?
That would be a problem. A 'white space difference' as Kovid said.

I mean, I'm sure there's some reason, but is it absolutely necessary?
It seems like it would be better if we were able to write and test our regexes based on the code that the conversion pipeline actually uses, to avoid errors like this one.
