If you have any real example of a shell command that won't accept a properly quoted POSIX path from AppleScript, file a bug.

For instance, I use pdf2ps and it does not accept the slightest space in the file names, including when quoted. Do you mean "[...] any real example of a shell command *included in the standard installation* [...]"?
