Confirmed this behavior in Hardy (xdg-utils 1.0.2-2) with the following:

greg at alexandria:~$echo $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
Default
greg at alexandria:~$unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
greg at alexandria:~$echo $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID

greg at alexandria:~$touch file\ with\ spaces.txt
greg at alexandria:~$xdg-open file\ with\ spaces.txt
local: 438: spaces.txt: bad variable name
Warning: unknown mime-type for "file" -- using "application/*"
Error: no such file "file"
greg at alexandria:~$touch file%20with%20a\ space.txt
greg at alexandria:~$ls | grep file
file%20with%20a space.txt
file with spaces.txt
greg at alexandria:~$xdg-open file%20with%20a\ space.txt
local: 438: space.txt: bad variable name
Warning: unknown mime-type for "file%20with%20a" -- using "application/*"
Error: no such file "file%20with%20a"

After an "export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=Default" the above xdg-open commands
work as expected.
