It seems, that ConTeXt deals with that very well (attention, the following
code is utf8):

% engine=luatex

\starttext
\hsize1mm
nbsp : test

thinspace : test

normalspace : test
\stoptext

Between "nbsp" and ":" is a nonbreakable space, and indeed there is no
line-break.

Between "thinspace" and ":" is a nonbreakable thin-space, and also no
line-break.

Between "normalspace" and ":" is a normal space, so there is a line-break.

Does this look like what you want?

Cheers, Peter
