I can confirm this, although the situation is a bit more complicated: 

Please try the following cases:
- Make empty file named 'space file.txt' in /home/username/ where neither /home
nor /home/username are symlinks. Then delete with nautilus.
      Works for me.
- `mkdir ~/real; ln -s ~/real ~/linked; touch ~/real/space\ file` Now try to
delete the 'space file' by browsing to '~/linked/' in nautilus. Then try to
delete it by browsing to '~/real/' in nautilus
      It looks like you can't remove files with spaces (didn't test for more
chars) when nautilus must dereference symlinks. 

Actually this is about moving files to trash. When dragging file to trash an
error is shown, and an option for real deletion is offered and works.
