It is obvious that something that isn't there cannot be preserved,

I do not ... I get different results when I replace your example with
preserve-space (which happens to be the default). This has long been
a bone of contention with the Microsoft engine since it is widely
agreed that the Microsoft engine is non-conformant in this regard.
