Looking at the sources, outline seems not to allow headlines with
whitespace at the beginning per default.

I think you could get it work, but you would have to modify some
variables like `outline-regexp' and `outline-heading-alist'.  Maybe it's
not worth the trouble if you are don't want to deal with internals.

I think that is a different issue.

I don't see this behavior here, neither with Emacs 23.3, nor with 24.
Does this happen with emacs -Q?  Which operating system do you use?
