No (at least not for me).
Did you actually try that, as opposed to the version you showed
before? There *is* a difference.
As far as I understand this, no kind of quoting or escaping will
work on whole shebang line because the kernel just splits the string
and passes them as arguments to the application.
You understand incorrectly; shebang parsing is platform dependent. See:
http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/
In particular, I just tested Linux (CentOS 4.3, to be precise) and
found that this works:
#!/bin/env /path/witha/s pace/init
However, if I understand correctly, this would not work correctly on
certain *BSD-derived operating systems, which would pass
"/path/witha/s" and "pace/init" to env as separate arguments, instead
of a single combined argument, thereby keeping it from working.
It seems that OS X would be a good place to test also, especially
since IIRC it is *BSD-derived.
