This is a bug. While escape symbols do not affect export in most common

I agree is zero-width space used as an escape character is too
intrusive. It adds stray line breakpoints, it may be unwanted during
copy&paste of text, especially if such text is code or a command.
I am attaching a tentative patch that will make Org export remove
zero-width spaces when those spaces actually separate the object
boundaries.
Any objections?
I think, you broke a valid use case when zero width space allows to wrap
objects in the case of narrow page

The idea was indeed inspired by Markdown.
However, Markdown is different - **bold** is the official syntax to
indicate bold markup.
Or by asciidoc

Please, use \u200B instead of the invisible character.
