With the proper detection for C files using either tabs or spaces now in there should also be proper highlighting when the wrong leading whitespace is used, e.g. if the file uses tabs then any lines with "^ +" should be flagged as wrong.

As a non-Vim user, I don't really care, but lines beginning with spaces are valid if you want to indent by something smaller than a tab (this is common in comments).

Ah nuts, you're right. I guess it will only work for starting with tabs when spaces are being used for the indentation.
