They are visible in Staff (and probably in TabStaff just when using
\tabFullNotation).
This change in ly/property-init.ly would fix it:

hideNotes = {
  .....
  \override Tie #'transparent = ##t
}

unHideNotes = {
  ....
  \revert Tie #'transparent
}

But I guess there's a reason why these lines have not been added (ties
are... mmh, "outside the scope of a note").

However my question was about the whiteout property of TabNoteHead.
IIRC, last year when I made a TabNoteHead transparent I could see a
small white area in place of TabNoteHead, because the whiteout property
of TabNoteHead was set to true by default (my blind guess).
So I had to add \once \override TabNoteHead #'whiteout = ##f  to my
snippet.

Now this happens no more, the override is no more needed. I guess that's
because now the whiteout property is handled differently?

Where can I check it?
