Follow-up Comment #3:

I can't find any other character which causes this problem; using "a:b" for
example works fine with the version of make in CVS.  All other characters that
seem like they would be candidates also work fine.

However examining the code I agree with you, it's a bug.  I've committed a fix
to CVS for this.

Note that while it is possible to make certain very trivial things work as
expected with spaces in filenames, many other things won't work.
