Try this:
(setq whitespace-display-mappings
'(
(space-mark ?\ [?\ ] [?.])
(space-mark ?\xA0 [?\u00A4] [?_])
(space-mark ?\x8A0 [?\x8A4] [?_])
(space-mark ?\x920 [?\x924] [?_])
(space-mark ?\xE20 [?\xE24] [?_])
(space-mark ?\xF20 [?\xF24] [?_])
(newline-mark ?\n [?$ ?\n])
(tab-mark ?\t [?\t] [?\\ ?\t])))
The main point is to have the space and TAB be displayed as
themselves. You tried to display a '.' instead of a space, which
won't fly with word wrap: it needs to see the space character to break
the line.
