It looks like the &nbsp; character has been treated like a space.
If you need a correction at the Gnulib level (in the functions iswblank,
iswspace, c32isblank, or c32isspace), please report this to bug-gnulib.
Alternatively, you may declare this a "quality of implementation" issue
and simply disable the test on NetBSD and Solaris.
