If that mark is removed, then tabs won't be marked specially at all --
only with a background colour, which is presumably not what people want
here...

Looking at the whitespace code, I don't really see any easy way to fix
this -- the buffer display table and tab actions don't match?

To be more precise, the comment Mario meant is probably this part of
definition of `whitespace-display-mappings':

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    ;; WARNING: the mapping below has a problem.
    ;; When a TAB occupies exactly one column, it will display the
    ;; character ?\xBB at that column followed by a TAB which goes to
    ;; the next TAB column.
    ;; If this is a problem for you, please, comment the line below.
    (tab-mark     ?\t    [?=C2=BB ?\t] [?\\ ?\t])	; tab - right guillemet
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Does anyone know why the workaround given there is not turned on by
default?  Or maybe it should be made a user option?

Best,
