FWIW: You can use my library `highlight-chars.el'
to highlight TAB chars (or any chars) individually:
M-x hc-highlight-chars
TAB
[enter the face you want for it]
Use `hc-toggle-highlight-trailing-whitespace' to
highlight trailing whitespace with a different face.
But as the code stands now, trailing whitespace
includes TAB chars. As a quick hack you can edit
`hc-highlight-trailing-whitespace' to remove TAB
chars from the (hard-coded, so far) regexp of chars
to match:
(font-lock-add-keywords
nil
`(("[\u00a0\040\t]+$" ; <===== Remove \t
(0 'hc-trailing-whitespace
,hc-font-lock-override)))
'APPEND)

[FWIW2: I'm one of the many who think the default
should be changed to nil. There was a fair
amount of discussion, but t carried the day.]
