Well, the goal is to draw attention... :) I considered overstrike which would be the most logical choice if it didn't affect readability a bit too much (but I didn't try it yet).

What other options are there that cannot be mistaken for information from the spellchecker and that also don't cannot make you wonder if you just typed a space or an underscore?

No. Or maybe yes; I simply never get to see it. I wrote that off to being able to find the exact spot over the text to trigger the tooltip but you're right, maybe something else unsets it.

Sorry, accident.

In the current implementation there is no easy way to judge how far from that threshold we are. The easiest way to do this is by setting the commit message editor to a width of 72 characters (which for some reason requires taking the width of a string of 74 characters). I think there is room enough for this, but a more complete implementation would probably introduce a resize handle between the 2 main widgets. I haven't yet tried to look into that.
