How about simply checking the Emacs version? 

(defcustom org-emphasis-regexp-components
  (if (<= 23 (string-to-number (car (split-string emacs-version "\\."))))
      '(" \t('\"{\u00A0" "- \t.,:!?;'\")}\\" " \t\r\n,\"'" "." 1)
    '(" \t('\"{" "- \t.,:!?;'\")}\\" " \t\r\n,\"'" "." 1))
[...]

The problem with earlier version is that although most, if not all, ISO
Latin pages put `NO-BREAK SPACE' at 0xA0 some may use different
codepages. But they can do this also in newer Emacsen if they haven't
converted their files yet, can't they?

If you think putting `A0' in that regexp may break things, then I'd
suggest putting a note about it somewhere for people who'd like to
customise it for themselves.
