Do you have a 'cd' function in your .bashrc? ;)
It appears that in your own account (but not root), you have a cd function
(e.g., that shows the current directory on a window's title), which perhaps
uses $* and distroys the shell's space handling. If this is indeed the case,
try to replace $* by "$@" (the quotes are important), and see if it fixes the
problem.
P.S. how do you see the list of functions defined in bash? In zsh you have
the 'functions' builtin. Is there a similar builtin in bash?
