I doubt that. The issue at hand is how to display mouse-highlighted
newline so that it is clear to the user it's a newline that (e.g.)
will be inserted when she clicks on it in *Completions* buffer.
Showing an empty rectangle hardly accomplishes that effect.

You meant "C-u C-x =", I presume. This does show the name of the
character, but you should have the cursor on it, which might be
tricky in the *Completions* buffer. Also, at least some methods of
displaying something instead of a newline (e.g., display strings)
cause "C-x =" to display information about the underlying character,
which may or may not explain what is being shown and why.
