That is not valid.

Saxon-SA will give you the following message:
SaxonSA] The whiteSpace normalization must not be weaker than that of 
the base type

Xerces says
[Xerces] whiteSpace-valid-restriction.2: In the definition of myType, 
the value 'preserve' for the facet 'whitespace' is invalid, because the 
value for 'whitespace' has been set to 'replace' in one of the ancestor 
types.

oXygen adds also the following URL to the error message:
URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#whiteSpace-valid-restriction

Now, if you look at the URL above that points to the spec you see the 
fragment below, look at point 2:
***
Schema Component Constraint: whiteSpace valid restriction
It is an =B7error=B7 if whiteSpace is among the members of {facets} of {b=
ase 
type definition} and any of the following conditions is true:
1 {value} is replace or preserve and the {value} of the parent 
whiteSpace is collapse
2 {value} is preserve and the {value} of the parent whiteSpace is replace
***

 From schema for schemas the definition of normalizedString is:

     <xs:simpleType id="normalizedString" name="normalizedString">
         <xs:annotation>
             <xs:documentation 
source="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#normalizedString"/>
         </xs:annotation>
         <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
             <xs:whiteSpace id="normalizedString.whiteSpace" 
value="replace"/>
         </xs:restriction>
     </xs:simpleType>
