It should do that. +1 If lax-whitespace matching is currently turned on, typing multiple whitespace chars contiguously could turn it off. But in that case a message should let the user know that this change has occurred. And then what if the user made a mistake typing that second SPC char - i.e., didn't really mean to search literally for multiple whitespace chars? It won't be enough to just delete the second SPC char (but the user might try that). Perhaps the message that lax whitespace matching has been switched to literal should also mention the key sequence for toggling back to lax matching.
