I am not so sure here. If this is illegal:
<fo:block background-color="red">
Some text before the marker
<fo:marker marker-class-name="m1">
<fo:block font-size=".5em">
First marker with small font
</fo:block>
</fo:marker>
</fo:block>
then IMO FOP is correct in rejecting the example Andreas provided
because with white-space-collapse="false" white-space becomes
an ordinary area generating sequence of characters.
