I can't reproduce this in the latest emacs-24 branch.

I believe you. :-)

I can confirm this bug (in the latest emacs-24 branch). To reproduce it,
start emacs as the first invocation above.
(i) M-x whitespace-mode doesn't undo GWMode, rather it has no visible
effect aside from adding "ws" to "WS" in the mode line.
(ii) Now M-x global-whitespace-mode simply removes "WS" from the mode
line.
(iii) Now M-x whitespace-mode fails to undo its effect in the window.
This show there's non-standard semantics for
\(global-\)?-whitespace-mode.
