I knew I missed something.

Well, I just noticed that it makes a difference whether I have set
the environment variable EMACS_UNIBYTE or not.

- If EMACS_UNIBYTE is set, "emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file"
  displays non-breaking spaces with a colored backslash and a space.

- If EMACS_UNIBYTE is not set, "emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file"
  displays non-breaking space as `\240'.

- Always, "emacs -nw --no-init-file --no-site-file" displays
  non-breaking space just as a space, no matter whether
  EMACS_UNIBYTE is set or not.

Isn't that inconsistent?
