Seems you tried to insert a printed representation of the character?
AFAIK you must insert the character. You can achieve this with M-:
(insert ?\x2007) for example. Yes, that's not so nice.

If you did it right, note that you must re-enable `whitespace-mode' to
give it a chance to update the `buffer-display-table'. That doesn't
happen automatically.
