the buffer cloning code can't know that a given marker is stored in a variable.
So when it clones the variables, both buffers's `whitespace-bob-marker`
variable will point to the same marker.
While we could try and solve it for this specific case by looking for
buffer-local variables that contains markers, the problem is much more
general (think of the case where the buffer var contains a list of
markers, or a hash-table containing markers, or ...), so `clone-buffer`
does not try to solve it.
Instead modes that use such variables are responsable to setup
a `clone-buffer-hook` that does the necessary work.
