If a username has a space in it, ssh-copy-id cannot handle it, unless
it's in a non-obvious way. ssh itself has no problem with spaces.

"It looks like there is some quoting missing from the ssh-copy-id script"

Apologies if this is logged against the incorrect component. ssh-copy-id
seems to call ssh-add but it's more than likely a problem with the
script rather than ssh-add.
