Enabling whitespace-mode in Gnus Group, Summary or Article buffers
removes the Gnus-specific fontification in these buffers. This happens
when whitespace-color-on calls font-lock-add-keywords, which tests (and
font-lock-mode (not (or font-lock-keywords font-lock-defaults))), and in
the Gnus buffers font-lock-mode is t and font-lock-keywords and
font-lock-defaults are both nil, so the test succeeds and consequently
the following sexps are evaluated:
(font-lock-mode -1)
(setq-local font-lock-defaults '(nil t))
(font-lock-mode 1)
which removes the buffer fontification. Adding `(font-lock-mode -1)' to
the gnus-{group,summary,article}-mode definitions prevents this (i.e.,
keeps the Gnus-specific fontification), but then the whitespace-mode
faces are not applied to the Gnus buffers.

Yes, that's not supported -- none of the font locking stuff can be used
in Gnus buffers (since it controls the fonts itself).

That's what I assumed, but is it documented? (I briefly looked but
didn't see anything relevant.) And although it's probably not too
common to enable whitespace-mode in a non-editable Gnus buffer, it is a
gotcha if you happen to do so. It would be user-friendly to prevent
that, but maybe the effort isn't worth it.

Apparently not, so I've now added a paragraph to the Gnus manual about this.

Yeah, I don't think it's worth it -- your report about this is the first
time I can recall somebody trying this in... er... has it been 30
years now? :-)
