The behaviour described – displaying “\emsp” instead of space
characters – is a regression. That's what is being reported in this bug.

So the U+2003 EM SPACE character should be translated *during export*,
and not be literally in the displayed text.

IS the above suggestion an acceptable solution?

But not for display, which is the bug to be fixed here.

Thanks for working on Org mode.
