This is caused by the Big 5 character `年' which has `~' as the second
byte in Big 5 encoding. Since this is already used by LaTeX as a
shorthand for \nobreakspace, CJK can get the expansion of `~' instead
of `~' itself. Such characters should be written with \CJKchar in
bibliographies too. I forgot that :-) Below is an updated script.

You are using a character of the so-called ETen extension of Big5.
Among various symbols, the following CJK characters are located there:
碁 銹 裏 墻 恒 粧 嫺
Using them is a source of trouble because not all fonts (in Big5
encoding) support them. Attached is a special UBig5-Arphic.sfd file
which covers them. Use this to regenerate the Type 1 subfonts of
bsmi00lp.ttf -- you might also forward this file to the MikTeX package
maintainer of the CJK package.
