Customize whitespace-display-mappings so that the whitespace
characters are displayed as themselves, instead of as fancy non-ASCII
glyphs.  (You will still have the faces to show the whitespace.)

For a better solution, please file a feature-request bug report, this
would require changes in the display engine.
