I can't recall having ever discussed this, and I can't find any posts on it
in the xbiblio archive.

I tried to disprove the need for this feature by looking at my own
publications, but I discovered a different use of non-breaking spaces. "My"
journal uses them between author initials (see e.g. references 15 and 36 of
http://aem.asm.org/cgi/reprint/76/16/5383 : there are no cases where
initials are split over multiple lines, but lines may end with initials.
Non-breaking spaces aren't included after the last initial, between name
particles, or between the last name particle and the family name-part).
