Thanks, I see, according to 

hardcoded face: nobreak-space

Notwithstanding, wouldn't it be good, to have a
mode-hook which weeps them out?

Customized `delete-nobreak-spaces' as text-mode-hook
displays correctly after reload/revert.

(defun delete-nobreak-spaces ()
  "Delete nobreak space, char 2208, #o4240, #x8a0 from buffer or region. "
  (interactive "*")
  (let ((beg (cond ((region-active-p)
                    (region-beginning))
                   (t (point-min))))
        (end (cond ((region-active-p)
                    (region-end))
                   (t (point-max)))))
    (save-excursion
      (goto-char beg)
      (while (re-search-forward (char-to-string 2208) end t 1)
        (replace-match "")))))

(defun region-active-p ()
  "Provide mark-active transient-mark-mode
 (not (eq (region-beginning) (region-end))))"
  (if (featurep 'xemacs)
      'region-active-p
    (and mark-active transient-mark-mode
         (not (eq (region-beginning) (region-end))))))

Any idea how to realise that on the fly?
