Bug #11333, whitespace mode does nothing. Is there a workaround?

[Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto]

I am affected by bug #11333.
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11333

Whitespace mode claims to be active but it does nothing.  In every buffer I
have to turn it off then back on to make it work.

This is Ubuntu 13.04.  "emacs --version" outputs "24.2.1".
"apt-cache show emacs24" contains "Version: 24.2+1-2ubuntu2".

Is there an easy work-around?

Regards
