Check the variable org-emphasis-regexp-components -- the first two elements specify what characters are allowed before and after an emphasis delimiter. You could add the non-breaking space to both of those elements, and it ought to work. I can't speak to potental gotchas that might arise because of this, or whether this ought to be part of the default value... Hope that helps, Eric
