Bug is when behaviour is different from documentation. What is the behaviour
and what is the documentation in the case of "my file naming conventions"?

I think the question of motivation is irrelevant here. The scp does something
else than is written in the manpage.

They don't have to be. It's actually completely irrelevant in this case whether
they have to be named with spaces or don't. scp does something else than is
written in the manpage regardless of the user's motivation.
