i have not checked that now, but i am pretty sure, that it does support files with spaces. however, there is a limitation (that can be worked around) on pd's ability to create a symbol containing spaces.
It can also be fixed. If you edit the source code of pd, you only have to change two lines to fix the saving of spaces in symbols, but somehow so far it has been easier for everybody to write several hundred mails about the topic instead, and figuring out workarounds, teaching workshop students about not using spaces, and pondering whether it's a bug at all and how to think of it as a feature.
Pd might be Open-Source and all it implies, but for that particular case (and some other particular cases) it just feels like it's a regular freeware in which the author has lost the source code in a hard disk crash several years ago...
