It doesn't. :-<
The code that performs the filename expansion simply performs a string
expansion where it *should* have checked the filename for whitespace and add
quotes if needed. This bonehead behaviour is a source of many problems,
including the one I commented on. You manually have to add the quotes to
make it work. Just another documented "feature".
