Is there some way to prevent UITextField from converting spaces to non-breaking spaces?-Collection of common programming errors

This appears to be a transitional bug that is ONLY present in apps built with XCode 4 but run under iOS 7.

If a UITextField has a value set in the NIB editor (Interface Builder) then retrieving the value at runtime via aTextField.text returns a string with non-breaking spaces (\u00A)) instead of standard space character (\u0020) when the keyboard (standard) space was typed.

Text entered by the user (through the keyboard at runtime) has the standard space character.

Apps written/compiled using XCode 5 do not show this behavior.

Any suggestions on how to change, override, or mask this behavior?
