[PD] message box issue with blank spaces

Hi,
As far as I know, some representation of the space character does exist
in PD which can be contained in symbols.
The "proof" is that if I bang an [openpanel] and I browse to a file
whose path contains spaces, I can send the output to a symbol atom,
print it, use [label $1( to send it to a canvas etc and it doesn't get
truncated. I can store it in a [symbol] and use later without issue. So
that kind of symbol definitely exists, no matter how it is internally
represented.
But if I send such a symbol (containing blank spaces, e.g. the output of
an openpanel) to the following chain:
...
|
[list prepend set]
|
[list trim]
|
[ (
then the symbol IS truncated at the first space.
That is, the [set( message to a messagebox doesn't seem to handle
correctly symbols containing a blank space.
Before I report it to the bugtracker, am I missing something?
P.S. the same results are obtained with
[set $1(
|
[ (
but since it involves two message boxes i thought it could be more
confusing.
