wiki: external links - line break problem

When external links are used in a wiki page, random line-breaks are sometimes inserted, making it harder to read.

A example of this problem can be seen here in the fourth paragraph - see the strange line breaks. An even better example can be seen in the sandbox.

Note that this problem would go away automatically if this suggestion was adopted. In case that suggestion isn't adopted, I'm raising it here as a technical issue to be addressed in isolation.

I've documented the HTML which is causing this problem, please see the sandbox page here. Just in case that info gets zapped, I've copied the offending HTML here:

<p>This is blah blah blah blah <a href="http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7026713#post7026713" class='external' title="http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7026713#post7026713" rel="nofollow">an example where the</a><span class='urlexpansion'>&nbsp;(<i>http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7026713#post7026713</i>)</span> last word of the link will be split onto a new line from the rest.
