It does work with shell commands (e.g. !pip instead of %pip), but when using the magic commands spaces are not escaped.

In macOS Big Sur, a brand new virtualenv with spaces in its path:

Closest open issue i've found is this one, but in that it looks like the spaces are escaped incorrectly? #11138

It can also fail the same way if a path is not quoted when running shell command:
