Comment (by Coolkevman):

 It looks like spaces in URLs are allowed, but considered unsafe according
 RFC 1738 (source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/497908/are-urls-
 allowed-to-have-a-space-in-them/497972#497972 ), and should be percent-
 encoded.

 Anyway, if the WordPress project consider URLs containing spaces as
 invalids, what's left of this bug report seems to be: ''does URLs
 containing {{{%20}}} are supported by WordPress ?''. In which case it
 doesn't seems to work (which may be a problem on the remote server side
 and not on WordPress's).
