Thanks for the great bug report!  I've just checked in a fix into CVS.

There won't be any change on the escaping of spaces in the source, so
that should continue to work.  I think we'll probably escape spaces in
the destination (with a heuristic to handle the case where the user has
provided their own backslashes), but only if it's as backward-compatible
as we think it will be.
