Has anyone ever actually seen a Unix filesystem with whitespace

Yep. It's not common, but I've seen it a few times, particularly on
OS X where someone has move the User folders to a second disk, so
something like
/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/Users/user/
/Volumes/External 300GB/Users/user/
&c.
But even so, just because you haven't seen it is not reason not to
account for it. Good practices and all that.
And yes, before anyone pipes up, OS X _IS_ a unix system (as opposed
to a Unix<tm> system), in fact, it is very much like my freeBSD
machines that I run procmail on.
