Or - in this specific case - maybe use a dedicated icon, not a red triangle,
but some image resembling ellipsis. This would mean, that on margin, with
enabled formatting marks it could look like (| means right page margin; [...]
means the new ellipsis icon; ¬ means the existing line break mark):

  ... text + many trailing spaces  | [...]
  ... text text text text line 2   |
  ... text line 3 with line break  | ¬
  ... line 4 - spaces + line break | [...]¬

and the marks would take fixed width, regardless of the number of spaces that
were eaten when breaking lines.

Note that currently, the marks on margins (like paragraph marks, line break
marks in block adjust mode) aren't marked when selecting text. I don't think
it's really a problem. But if it's really wanted that they all also change they
background, it should be a separate request; the display of cut spaces and
cursor travelling is separate from that.
