There are typically no timeframes for these types of problems as we are
all volunteers using our spare time to work on FOP. If it is a serious and
urgent problem for you your best option is to get in and fix it yourself.
Having said that the current version of FOP in the Subversion repository
has a fix which allows it to deal with non breaking spaces correctly. As a
work around you could download and build the current development version
of FOP and convert in your data, where you want to preserve white space
and linefeeds, any spaces to non breaking spaces ( )
