It's a feature.  I couldn't stand reading the NBSP-escaping in some French
articles where half the spaces are NBSP.  NBSP-escaping is good in
prog-lang buffers, not in Gnus's artcle buffer.

Indeed the feature has not been included in Help buffers and Gnus summary
yet.  Mostly because I've never bumped into an NBSP in a Help buffer or in
a Gnus summary.
