You could try \; to create the desired space (Knuth uses \, in the  
TeXbook). Or \text{...} from the amsmath package, but this will use  
the text font which is precisely what you're wanting to avoid.

Sorry, I'd forgotten to check that it should be included inside  
\AtBeginDocument, given fontspec.sty includes the corresponding code  
inside \AtBeginDocument. Thus you should try, I think:

\AtBeginDocument{
   \SetSymbolFont{operators}{normal}{OT1}{cmr}{m}{n}
   \SetSymbolFont{operators}{bold}  {OT1}{cmr}{bx}{n}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathrm}{normal}{OT1}{cmr}{m}{n}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathbf}{normal}{OT1}{cmr}{bx}{n}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathit}{normal}{OT1}{cmr}{m}{it}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathsf}{normal}{OT1}{cmss}{m}{n}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathtt}{normal}{OT1}{cmtt}{m}{n}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathrm}{bold}  {OT1}{cmr}{bx}{n}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathbf}{bold}  {OT1}{cmr}{bx}{n}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathit}{bold}  {OT1}{cmr}{bx}{it}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathsf}{bold}  {OT1}{cmss}{bx}{n}
   \SetMathAlphabet{\mathtt}{bold}  {OT1}{cmtt}{bx}{n}}

No need to create a specific style file, in any case.
