Then the quotes are completely gone.

Obviously I don't want to need use -b however, since the escaped space
chars in the file names add a lot of noise.

I don't understand what is going on.  I tried to compare the situations
before and after the patch.  In both cases the `call-process' parameters
are more or less the same.  The process sentinels already seem to
receive different strings (one time without, the other time including
the quotes) - so seems it's not about sentinels.
