Good question! My *guess* would be: it should! I certainly remember
fiddling with this, and explicit_location_lex_one does have handling for
it. [The lexer also allows quote-enclosed strings, just like linespec.]

I just tested it (to be certain), and (survey says!):

(gdb) fil ~/tmp/file\ with\ spaces
Reading symbols from ~/tmp/file with spaces...done.
(gdb) b -source file with spaces.c -line 4
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004fa: file /home/keiths/tmp/file with spaces.c, line 4.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/keiths/tmp/file with spaces

Breakpoint 1, main () at /home/keiths/tmp/file with spaces.c:4
4 return 1;
(gdb)

ls-errs.exp exercises this a bit, too, albeit in a non-obvious way.
