Yes. I admit I've done no testing or research for this thread, but past experience tells me that the \% escape treats whitespace and not much else as a word separator. For instance, I've found that "\%Abracadabra!" doesn't inhibit hyphenation in the word abracadabra, but creates a hyphenation point between the opening quotation mark and the word. That's an irrational interpretation, but it's a minor irrationality that I've learned to live with. (My preprocessing script backs up to the nearest whitespace before adding the \% so I don't have to think about it.)
