FYI, the problem has been identified and David Costa posted simple fix:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45859#c2

"""
The eval parameter on line 659 is not quoted.

The original line is:
eval '$browser $1'$xdg_redirect_output;

while it should be:
eval '$browser "$1"'$xdg_redirect_output;
"""
