I was about to report the same thing.
This is since:

tdf#142450 add code to store showing whitespace
I have put in code to store the option to show whitespace.
This option is stored at the document level like the other
layout options.
Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/126497
I would call it an implementation error.
Now, if your preferred setting is to show whitespace (the default setting when
starting with a fresh profile), it will be overwritten if you happen to open
someone's document that has "show whitespace" off. Meaning all further Writer
sessions will start with whitespace off.
And vice-versa.
So it has two consequences:
- the in-document setting overwrites the user default for new documents
- the in-document setting will "leak" into existing documents if they don't
have that property set already (i.e. documents created before LO 7.4)
In my opinion, this new feature should better differentiate between (1) the
imported document property and (2) the setting changed by user action.
Marking as "high" priority because it silently modifies existing documents.
Heiko and Mike, adding you as you participated in the discussion.
