Of course, problem can _easily_ be solved in epub.

But conversion should _never_ remove spaces, and source epub file is not _always_ available. Sorry, but suggestions to solve it by editing epub are not very useful/relevant.
So what you are wanting is to have a file with a structural error since a soft hyphen should never occur between a space and a word fixed. If you do not have the original epub to fix it yourself, get the person who generated the flawed ePub to fix their garbage output. Otherwise, GIGO since a soft hyphen should never occur outside of a word, the space in front of the soft hyphen is an obvious error.

Out of a perhaps morbid curiosity, was this a commercially available, public domain or freely distributable epub? If so, you might want to complain to the source.
