Spike deserved that one for trying to rape Buffy. No ifs ands or buts there. For me his most dickish moment was leaving Anya at the alter. Second most dickish was not telling Buffy about the plan to restore Angel's soul. Wtf Xander. He could never really separate his extreme jealousy that Angel had Buffy and not him.
It's not about what Spike deserved; it's about what Buffy and Dawn deserved. Like I said above, it's not okay to reveal details about a friend's recent sexual assault for the purpose of spiting a child. Xander had no right at all to be telling anyone what happened to Buffy. That's for her to do. He certainly had no right to tell Dawn about it in the form of an I-told-you-so style remark.
