There's a bug report for the LibreOffice application here...
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41652
...which shows an interesting history of the situation.

One issue is whether to be Unicode compliant or MS-Word compliant. 
MS-Word had apparently corrected the bug with Word 2013 but had reverted 
to the incorrect behavior by the time Word 2016 rolled out.  On that 
page it's noted that applications like InDesign, Firefox, TeX, and 
QuarkXPress handle U+00A0 correctly.
