I suppose it's a matter of taste; I rather like the old behavior, and
think Juri's solution is much worse (I tried his patch). Having
spaces with only a background color different looks more like a
display glitch than anything else, and I think escaped spaces are a
much more intuitive representation for a typical Emacs user.
Regardless, the `escape-glyph' face should not be changed to
accomodate this special case, as the new colors are awful for the
majority of escape sequences which don't need a background color
change. _If_ it's decided to treat NBSP specially in this manner,
then it should have its own new face, and `escape-glyph' should be
left alone.
