I see that the following packages modify the syntactic class of some characters to be whitespace or redefine whitespace characters to have some non-whitespace syntax: completion.el (where whitespace is the default class) font-lock.el (*may* do this if font-lock-defaults request that) gnus-score.el (makes digits have whitespace syntax) ietf-drums.el (makes punctuation characters have whitespace syntax) mml.el (ditto) imenu.el (*may* do so if imenu-syntax-alist requests that) some modes such as ada-mode and awk-mode modify the syntax of \f, \n, \r scheme.el defines ` and ' to have whitespace syntax speedbar defines many characters to have whitespace syntax bibtex (defines ~ to be whitespace) texinfmt (defines \ to be whitespace) (I'm not sure I've seen all the possible cases). So I think the conclusion is that it's rare, but does happen.
