Sure it does (I tried it)...

In this case what matters is how it works in the header-line, and it _does_
seem to do the right thing there; try for instance, the following:

   (setq header-line-format 
         (list (propertize "x" 'display "")
               "Moo"))

For me this works properly on both X (with zero pixels used) and ttys.
