Well, indeed the old whitespace-buffer had reported
where the bogus whitespace had happened.

Instead of reporting, the new whitespace-mode
displays visually the bogus whitespace.

Is it ok if the new whitespace-buffer is removed?

Maybe a better alternative should be to create a
whitespace-report command which reports like the old
whitespace-buffer.

Opinions...
