I can't guarantee that names with spaces in them have had much testing as LVM doesn't permit them. But device-mapper itself and dmsetup are supposed to support them.

Tools really should not be passing path names into constructors - use the major:minor format instead as the in-kernel code paths are much more predictable, there are fewer opportunities for races and so it offers better control to the userspace code.
