source text file containing no-break spaces

When I export a text document to RTF, an extra space is inserted after each no-break space contained in the document. The issue does not appear when exporting to Microsoft Word DOC. The issue reproduces with any text document with any text language (the attached testcase contains text in English (US) and Russian).

reproduced on Windows 7 64-bit against AOO 3.4

I created a new file containing the non-breaking space then save as .rtf directly, close and reopen, an extra space added

steps:
1. new a SW
2. enter some text
3. press Alt+255(on numeric keypad) to enter the non-breaking space between the text
4. Click Save, select .rtf from the format list
5. close
6. reopen

I can see an extra space is added right after the non-breaking space.

Hello,
AOO 4.0.1, WIN and Mac also...
Procedure:
Insert a nobreak space Maj+Ctrl+space
Save as .rtf
AOO 4.0.1 adds a space after.
Not reproduced in LibO 4.0.5
