How is this a small use case? I know a number of people including myself who have spaces in folder name, especially when trying to keep things organized (for example a folder in applications called Web Development would trigger this bug). For a company as large as Apple supporting an infrastructure as large as its app store this most definitely should have been caught long before release.

If you know a lot of people, including yourself, that uses spaces in folder names
AND
none of them has seen this bug all this time with sandboxing, including tons of developers doing the early/beta testing of sandboxing
then IT IS a small use case.

I didn't say that I or the people I know use OSX. However I made the assumption that Linux and Windows users were similar enough to OSX users in the ways they organize their stuff. Putting the size of the use case aside, It just surprises me that something like this would make it into a production system supporting 10s of thousands of apps and number of which have spaces in their names.
