I.e., the non-breaking space is not honoured but shown in the output
instead. Details:

I can see the actual '~' in the output with the following minimal document.

$ cat test-space.tex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
 \begin{tabular}{
  |c|c|c|c|c|c|c| } \hline
    Sun ~ & ~ Mon ~ & ~ Tue ~ & ~ Wed ~ & ~ Thu ~ & ~ Fri ~ & ~ Sat
\\
\hline
  ~ & ~ & ~ &  &  &  & \\ \hline
 \end{tabular}
\end{document}

The result is here:
http://imagebin.ca/view/HZOqdXG.html

This is how I compile and view it.

 texi2dvi -q -o test-space.dvi test-space.tex
 xdvi test-space.dvi &

If I compile with latex, then it is normal:

 latex test-space
 xdvi test-space.dvi &

Please investigate. 

Thanks

It is already fixed in unstable texinfo, I forgot to close it when
uploading the new version.

Closed it now.

For stable, I don't know if really qualifies for an update in a point release.
