A couple of comments:

(1) As you can see from my original code comment, this behavior of retaining the space before a <br> was actually deliberate.  At the time (many years ago), I was definitely matching some other browser's behavior (probably Firefox).  Have you verified that both IE for Windows and Firefox discard the spaces before a <br>?

(2) Have you tested HTML editing with this patch in place?  My concern is that the editing code may open a sequence of alternating nbsps and spaces with a space, and that when you insert a br after that space, that space would suddenly disappear.  It may be that editing opens with nbsp when you first type a space, but it might not.
