Yes, indeed. Element content models allow only ordinary whitespace,
not CDATA-bracketed whitespace. Therefore, nothing can be both
"ignorable whitespace" and CDATA-bracketed at the same time.
Clause 3.2.1 makes it clear that whitespace in element-content-model
elements must match the production S, which a CDATA section does not.

It violates the Validity Constraint "Element Valid", specifically
point 2.
