This would be horribly faulty logic, but it may be the reasoning that
was applied.

So far as I am aware, Mongolian words do not start with NNBSP.
The relevant sequence is Aletter NNBSP Aletter, for which see
Examples 6 to 9 in the referenced link.  The first example is the
*three* characters "c.d", in which by the rules there is no word break.
