Yes, please provide information how to escape paths with spaces. There's no example I can find, and it seems impossible to satisfy the parser (I can't make my entry appear at all).

I can't see any reason why the backslashes should be collapsed twice when not quoted; this is definitely not consistent with how this command is interpreted by a shell.
