Cannot access class names if class property contains a Non-Breaking Space as the first character

Description
If a class property has a " " in it as the first character jQuery will not pickup any classes for that element. However if you use a normal space bar to create the space it will successfully pickup the classes after the white space. So I would assume if its trimming white spaces from the beginning of the class property it should also trim off non-breaking spaces? For an example please check out this demo I made: http://jsfiddle.net/GhfVY/
Tested against jQuery 1.6.1 and jQuery 1.6.2 on a Mac (10.6.8) with Firefox 5

The browsers seem to agree that is not valid to do that, for example if you try to target it with a CSS selector:

Note that if the non-breaking space is escaped the selection does work, so the browser considers it to be part of the class name and not a separator.
Quickly updated the html just so I don't have to hear that the buttons ids are all the same. Anyhow here is the new example url: http://jsfiddle.net/fewds/GhfVY/2/
