Thanks for noticing this. It's fixed in podlators-2.1.3:
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (format_text): Stop remapping the code point for
non-breaking space. This should not be necessary and was wrong
when the string from Pod::Simple was a character string and not a
byte string. It was papering over a bug in setting the encoding
of an input POD file.
Patch from upstream git attached. I'd certainly like to fix this for
Lenny, we'll see what the release team thinks.
