I am neither able to reproduce this issue using the iOS Simulator to simulate an iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1 (12B411) with system WebKit nor using the same simulator device with a debug build of WebKit r180217. That is, the <audio> element is not displayed and takes no visual space such that there is no whitespace between the characters 'a' and 'b' in the text rendered on the page described by the markup in comment 0.
