This bug affects me too, it seems as though "Run command" instead of interpreting the input with a shell, tries to interpret the command itself and find a matching previous command or a desktop launcher. I know what I just said is not accurate, but what is accurate is that in my end (and in lealcy's, I suppose), "Run command" doesn't behave as expected.
