Yeah this absolutely is not a bug whatsoever with prototype or scriptaculous. It's an internet explorer issue by the sounds of things.
Completely ignore javascript/prototype/scriptaculous for a while. Just try to get the following static html displaying properly in all browsers first: <ul> <li>SpacesAfter Therewerespacesthere!</li> </ul> Once you've done that, it should be a very easy job to link in the javascript and your server side code just to replicate that html (obviously with your data from the database instead) on the fly. I'd advise you try that on a static page, and look for help elsewhere for doing so. I don't mean to fob you off or tell you to go away, just it's obvious to me that this is an html issue and not a prototype or scriptaculous one, so you'll get more useful help elsewhere (try www.htmlforums.com perhaps). As an example of the useless help you might encur around here, my best guess would be that you've got a doctype problem. I can enter non breaking spaces in my code and it renders in IE6+ fine (if it's not working in IE 5, my understanding with regards to that is prototype doesn't fully support that browser anyway). So doctypes are the only thing I can think of that might be different between your pages and mine. Hope this is of some kind of help.
