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.
