Given what I read in the original bug report you pointed to, I'm not
convinced it's an Emacs bug (or even that there is a bug at all).
There's an opinion there at the end that this is "strictly an Emacs
issue", but the example shown is the intended behavior: Emacs always
gives the empty screen space after the line end the same face as the
last character on the line.  You can easily see that by
shift-selecting text that spans more than one line.

Thanks.
