Subject: Whitespace mode says it's enabled, when it's really not
Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2012 14:56:18 -0700 (PDT)

This bug is reproducible on 24.1-rc1. (emacs-version reports "GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw scroll bars) of 2012-06-01 on localhost").
The scratch buffer is no longer affected, but fundamental mode buffers still are.
Start Emacs with (global-whitespace-mode 1) in your init file, and type C-x b foo ret. Type some text with a space at the end, press enter, and notice it doesn't highlight the space, even though the modeline says "Fundamental WS".
 Toggle global whitespace mode off and back on, and the space is highlighted.
