In fact, it is still true.

I think it was more of a fix to an absurd restriction imposed by the
CSS 2.0 specification, a restriction that browsers apparently didn't
implement.
But it is still true that by the current CSS specification issued by the
W3C, white-space only applies to block-level elements. A draft is not a
specification. Although this distinction probably does not matter here,
it is relevant in other contexts.
