This appears consistent with what it *does*: the face is just ordinary background, making the trailing hspace (which, for me, is actually blackspace, not whitespace; I use reverse-video systematically) invisible despite being `shown'. This is perfectly correct behaviour. Ok. If this is what customize is meant to do in this case, please could we have a control on the GUI that says `customize back off here and say nothing about this face' for use by those who want to do this via our own elisp. That is the Erase Customization button. It is supposed to put any face or variable back in its standard settings. However, I just tried that and it didn't work for faces. I fixed several bugs in that feature. Now it removes the info about that face in .emacs. I also fixed it so that if the face is in its standard state, and you do Save for Future Sessions, it saves nothing about that face.
