Ok, you said you were *pasting* a non-breaking space into Vim.

This is not a "paste" command but rather a keyboard mapping to send Vim a non-breaking space and a ! whenever you press the ! key, correct?

And somehow Vim is getting "alt+space" instead of a non-breaking space?

You can try setting the 'winaltkeys' option in Vim to "no" so that Vim handles all alt key sequences internally. Otherwise Windows will handle the Alt+Space key combination without Vim doing anything with it.
