I do not need zero width space.. I mentioned it and tried it because you

I believe we have some confusion here.

For clarity: I do not plan to use zero-width space for escaping markup.

I expect  "=title = "foo"​=" to export to `title = "foo"​' as before (using
ASCII backend as example as in my first post).

Before this change:
- =title = "foo"​= got fontified with org-verbatim face
- =title = "foo"​= exported to `title = "foo"​ (C-c C-e t A)

After this change:
- =title = "foo"​= does not get fontified with org-verbatim face (no Org
face is applied)
- =title = "foo"​= exports to =title = "foo"​= as it is​ (C-c C-e t A)
