On the contrary, all that I have on my system do handle them correctly:

$ cat bin/testing/spacename 
ls "file with spaces in the name, even  two in a row"
$ zsh bin/testing/spacename 
ls: file with spaces in the name, even  two in a row: No such file or directory
$ bash bin/testing/spacename 
ls: file with spaces in the name, even  two in a row: No such file or directory
$ dash bin/testing/spacename 
ls: file with spaces in the name, even  two in a row: No such file or directory
$ tcsh bin/testing/spacename 
ls: file with spaces in the name, even  two in a row: No such file or directory
$ ksh bin/testing/spacename 
ls: file with spaces in the name, even  two in a row: No such file or directory
$ zsh bin/testing/spacename 
ls: file with spaces in the name, even  two in a row: No such file or directory
$
