This particular scenario was fixed:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/quilt.git/commit/?id=5ce6b0473c8346c7c6d4fc68057d5ef174f4c132

While you can be reasonably certain that not all code paths of all commands properly support white space in file names yet, every failure case can be reported as a bug and will be fixed. For example, such a bug was recently fixed in the mktemp compatibility script:

Package: quilt
Version: 0.44-6
Severity: normal

I tried to edit a file with a space in the name, but it didn't work. Looks like quilt has some quoting issues in some parts of the code.

<in an existing quiltified package>
$ quilt new foobar.patch
Patch foobar.patch is now on top
$ quilt edit 'foo bar.txt'
<nano launched, empty file saved>
File foo added to patch foobar.patch
File bar.txt added to patch foobar.patch
$ ls -l | egrep '(foo|bar)'
-rw-r--r-- 1 pabs pabs 0 2006-05-20 14:19 foo bar.txt

I still have this with quilt 0.45-6.
